I see in those pictures that the heads of the cotters lead when the cranks rotate forward. On most bikes with cottered cranks I've seen (from a quick survey around the house), the nutted end of the cotter leads. Is there a right and wrong way to install cotter pins and why? Why would this Paramount be opposite to what I've seen?
