plus rounding the length down to an even number is pretty standard

the height of the nipple base/flange
That's the measurement I meant. The 3.5mm thickness of the carbon rim itself is of course already included. The .7mm from the washers is why I'm thinking I should definitely be rounding up from that half millimetre. (makes sense here, no? @svenhöek )
Do you know what exact value I should take for the nipple base if I'm using Sapim Polyax, or the same measurement for DT Swiss Standard nipples?

Oh great, so he's legit then I assume. Because so far that's the best price I could find within the UK at least.

Spoke prob 'ends' a bit deeper inside the wheel than 1mm. Spoke bed on carbon rims is usually about 3mm thick, then you need to add the height of the nipple base/flange, and HM Washer adds 0.7mm.
