Spokes to the wrong side of the rim

After reading the "Reversed spokes ok?" thread, I thought I'd ask my question. After just building
my first wheel ever (rear, chorus hub, Ritchey Aero OCR, 14 guage spokes, and brass nipples, 32
hole) and following Sheldon's instructions, I got the wheel all built up, tensioned as high as I
dare turn the nipples, and pretty round even. I went for a 50 mile ride and it stayed true.

However, I have now realized that my key spoke should have gone two spokes away from the valve hole,
instead of one. What this means is that spokes coming from the casette side are going into holes in
the rim that are drilled to accept them from the non-cassette side. I'm a little more dished than
what it would be if I had them laced to the right place on the rim.

Should I rip the wheel apart and re-do it? If so, can I re-use the spokes or should I just buy new.

I should, if I were you. Is is fun to do and practice makes perfect.

Yes, you can.
