Mark,
You're correct on which hand for which wheel, but I don't think it's because of which wheel is in a mechanics hand. It's that way because you brake the front wheel with the left hand, and the rear with the right hand. ( Unless you're switched up for Cross, then you're changing your wheel in the pits only, so it doesn't matter.)
Dave

Subject: Suspected Spam: Re: [OBRA Chat] my 2 cents of how to get a wheel change
While not interested in starting a left/right flame war. I was always taught to raise the left hand for the front wheel and right for back. the reasoning being b/c when the mechanic approached from the left side, the front wheel was at their left hand.
Have I always been backwards (on this issue?)?

I never like to see a rider pass on the left. Catching back on should be
done from the right

Subject: [OBRA Chat] How
This is a small "how to" for race support. The right side of the road is
considered to be the "support lane". When a flat occurs, the rider raises
their right hand for rear wheel support or the left hand for front wheel
support. The rider should then ease out of the pack & go to the right side
of the road and stop. When the hand goes up, the referee behind the pack
will ease left & call for support. The rider should put the gears in the
smallest rear cog and open the brake. For front wheel support, open the
brake & only if you can beat support, then remove the front wheel. Support
can then see the hand up & stops just behind the rider. Support should
never stop in the middle of the traffic lane & the rider should never stop
there either.
After the wheel is on, quickly remount & the support person can push to get
the rider going. Remaining standing over the bike may be a help to support
depending on the circumstances.
The referee & support cars should move to the right to allow overtaking
riders to pass to the left of them.
It is wise to examine tires before the race and to clean & check all
functions. Dropped chains & adjustments are not supported.
Don't forget to return support wheels.
Thanks,
Phil Sanders
