Need to get a load of Sapim D Lights for a wheel build - calculator comes up with mix of odd and even mm lengths, but they only come in even mm lengths and according to JRA "Our D-Lights are all factory made, in order to have no butted section at the thread these spokes can not be cut"... On that basis, anyone know if it's ok to round lengths down to next even mm length? Thanks!

Don't know about forum-approved, but I got one of these
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hyundai-Electric-Compressor-Release-Fittings/dp/B07TKVSQBR
and it has been excellent so far - with a presta pistol-type regulator attached for tubeless use. Only issue with it really is that it's far bigger capacity than it needs to be, and as you have to empty it every time you use it to avoid condensation on the inside, most of the time it's used more time is spent deflating it than actually using it!
So can recommend, but would advise getting a smaller one if possible / desirable.
e.g. this looks much better for that reason: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-02115-Oil-Free-Compressor-1-2kW/dp/B01N6Y81SH

Yep - combination of the topic and the individual is about as emotive as it could possibly be in terms of upsetting an entire community, extraordinary levels of ill judgment across the board...
It's probably sunk in at this point... https://road.cc/content/news/chris-hoy-legal-action-over-cancer-chain-lube-clip-312155
Due to the storm, this flight went Stansted to Edinburgh then had to change its mind and go back again due to inability to land!
