[Closed] Building a new flip flop rear wheel!

Hi

Can anyone help?

I'm building a new fix/free flip flop rear wheel and am doing a 3 cross pattern. Should I build it as a regular wheel with (when looking from the chainring side) both sides spokes pulling the same way? In which case when I flip the wheel round the pulling spokes will be the wrong way round! Or should I treat the two sides as seperate so that the driving side always has the pulling spokes the correct way, so that the wheel is not symmetrical?

Cheers for any help

Does not matter a bean. Symmetric looks best though.
