I've had the same nuisance with King front disc hubs, the logo can't be read from the drive side, don't know why they put it backwards. I'd be more fine with the whole thing if it was consistent front and back but to orient one hub differently is just annoying.

everyone must have read the same Sheldon article...!
Its a problem with disc wheels, I build my wheels with the outer spoke pulling but with a disc hub the outer spoke on the disc side should actually be opposite and pushing. To get the valve between parallel spokes requires switching up the non-drive spokes.
