Definitely not tossing the wheel. It's a fairly new Boyd Altamont. (bought 2nd hand but still very nice wheel).
My suspicion is that previous owner may have been trying to tweak and didn't use a spoke holder. Yes, they're J bend but I believe still easily possible. If you hadn't noticed CX Rays are very skinny and thin. The transition from blade to round is quite abrupt and therefore susceptible, imo to doing something like that.
I'll replace the few spokes and retrue. I just need to try a few more tricks (oil drops in nipples, etc).
