You put the bash ring on, put the free wheel on, line up the bash ring so that its pointing down when your good foot is forward. then tighten the free wheel as much as possible. then ride. Be careful of it moving slightly, although mine didn't rotate as the free wheel tighten fully. And yea as you can see in my pic, the bash rotates with the cranks, so when you have your feet level and you good foot forward, you'll always land on the bash.
