CWC spokes
DomP:
No I've got them in the correct sides, I've built wheels before so I'm certain if that, I think the small straight section before the bend is too short the the thickness of the hub
DomP:
This is what I'm getting at

I had exactly the same problem with my 750 front wheel. I had emails back and forth with CWC and pointed this out to them. They tried to assure me that this was the way all the spokes were and the build would be fine. And I have to say it seems to be fine so far.😜

Exactly the response I've got from them but I think they are wrong. Terrible sketch as I'm rushing at work but you get the gist.

That was my conclusion too, spokes just didn’t sit well like the old ones did. Must be the way the machining is set up. However by the time I had tensioned and trued up my wheel it didn’t look too bad. Don’t think it’s going to be detrimental to the tensile strength of the spoke fitting them like that.
