DT Swiss calculator says:

front: 297.9mm, 300.4mm
rear: 299.1mm, 298.4mm

I was going to get 30×298mm on front left, rear right and 30×300mm on front right, rear left. But the 0.4mm on the right spokes is throwing me a little; should I round that up or down? If I round up I'm going to need 15×298mm, 30×300mm, 15×302mm.

In light of the postage costs I want to get it right the first time ;)

Down. You can round the 299.1 down to 298 too. In general, you don't want to be more than 0.5mm over nominal, but you can safely be up to 1.5mm under.

So 45×298mm and 15×300mm? That's annoying that I can't get them all the same! At least DS front spokes never ever break I guess.

Thanks man

Edit: not sure what I was thinking with rounding the 299.1mm to 300mm??
