CWC spokes
DomP:
I've received my spokes from Central Wheel Components today, just laced up the front wheel but they've got the outers wrong on the bend, there's not enough length on the bend to allow it to have the right angle towards the rim nipple. I've ordered from them before an d so far never had them sent correctly.
DomP:
This shows the arc that the outers are needing to take to meet the rim, this is holding them well off the inners where they cross. If I torqued them up I think it could weaken then at the point the butted section slims down, what do you all think?
Nurse Julie:
Have you got a side on Photo Dom, from that angle it looks like the spokes are in the wrong holes or facing the wrong way.

No it's all correctly laced Julie, it's the bend on the outer spokes that is the issue.
ozzybud:
The Spokes don't normally touch where they cross. Are you saying the Bend at the Hub is incorrect? making them bow outwards? Having inner spokes in the outer holes would cause this.
the picture below is an outer spoke(bent over 90 degrees)
Is there a possibility that you have them switched? or the company sent you all inners ?
Maybe remove 2 and compare to the spokes you removed.
In the first picture it looks as if the outer spokes are riding on the inners.
