Whenever I'm rebuilding a used hub I will tend to follow the original lacing pattern so that the holes don't get stretched. It's play at the hub hole that can cause a spoke to break. Also to cover up the path of the previously laced spoke. If the hole is already a bit stretched then I'll put on a spoke head washer.

Ok getting a little confused trying to lace up a 2nd hand set of hubs to match the spoke marks on the flanges. The spokes (j bend) with the heads on the inside seemed to have been previously laced trailing to the left (rear of the bike ) on the drive side and leading to the left (front of the bike ) on the non drive side. Is this correct? It means they are effectively crossing in opposite directions. Following the park tools lacing pattern I thought they should be pointing in the same direction once the hub is twisted correctly
Thanks
