Oddjob:
Been thinking about this and I still think it's flat side up, I think it's that way so when the sprocket carrier goes on it doesn't risk flipping the o-ring out of the groove as it gets pushed back.
Sesman:
Mine was flat side up on disassembly. I’m pretty certain the wheel had not been dismantled previously and would suggest that’s how it should be.
Nurse Julie:
Flat side on the hub.

So you think flat side down?
Yet Phil says flat side up and was born out by seeing that was it way it came apart. I'm more and more convinced that I remember it being flat side up. If not why have a flat side at all, just use a normal round O ring.
Maybe someone who's taking a wheel apart soon can report back and solve the mystery.
Seabeowner:
This was discussed a while ago here.
Surely the location in the hub will shoe either a flat or a part circular groove.
Sure Julie is correct.
