So I want to lace a wheel and im stuck on deciding which size spoke to use. My drive side is 184.4 and my non-drive side is 183.7. Should I be fine with rounding down both spoke sizes to 184mm? I used the pijin spoke calculator and I don't want to buy the wrong size spoke. Thank you guys

Yeah man you will be good. You'll have to just crank the drive side half a turn extra to pull the wheel to center.

Yea, you can typically get away with 1-2 MM difference either way, but being as close to correct as possible.
