Fitting new brake blocks on bicycle - which way round?

Gap definitely at the back.
Hammyman - yeah I'm inclined to agree.

Get someone to gently apply the brake, jiggle / wiggle the pads about so they align with the rim

Elastic band around the brake lever and handlebar works well. Also helps when you are working on your bike.

Seconded

A good read

One observation, always set mine up with the gap at the rear, but when the pads are worn out, the fronts are worn the most. So I assume that although originally set up toeing in the pads wear most at the front and end up almost parallel.

Did the OP manage to sort out the problem
