I always round down myself by 1.5mm or so and sometimes up to 2mm. I've written my own spoke calculator which I use for all my builds. The formulas that I've used in the app are from Spocalc.xls by Damon Rinard. Here's the link.

I have a set of sora 3500 hubs laced to ryde chrina rims (unridden) - I’d like to swap rims to ryde Sputniks - looking at your calc against various others online - It seems like I could get away with re- using the same spokes ? Calc for sora to Sputnik is giving rear left 291 and right 290 and front 295 . Grateful for any light anyone can shed !?

I'm definitely finding spoke calcs the most confusing part of the process, is there a definitive guide/person people recommend?
If I'm getting 291.5mm on a spoke calculation, should I round up or down? It's a front wheel so same length on both sides.
