yes please. Sometimes you see two lots of McD’s or other detritus a car’s width apart – two of you literally tossed your rubbish out of the windows and drove off.

A sparkling career in journalism just getting started:
A car crash near Muddiford left a car flipped onto it’s roof. The crash was reported along the B3230 on Thursday afternoon.
Dramatic photos showed the car off to the side of the road, flipped onto its roof. The car also appears to have some police tape running through its front wheels.

This news outlet Faceooked this story locally, which give me the none too joyous task of pushing back on the they should have helmet and hi viz comments from my fellow villagers oh, and use the cycle path (all 18″ of it – easily rubbished with a photo).
I don’t know if this poor man had a helmet or not, but it does now appears no car involved – potentially the 1 in 100 situations where it might have made a difference.

Anger as cost of parking
Anger as cost of parking permit on Bath street hiked by nearly £2,500 a year
Adam Leon lives in central Bath and relies on his season ticket to park his family car. He said: “The problem is, I don’t have any choice as I live in Bath and I have a family. I can’t ask my eleven year-old child to ride her bike every day up Lansdown hill.”
He added: “I would challenge any council member to raise a family in Bath without a car.”
Keynsham councillor Lisa O’Brien objected to the traffic regulation order which brought in the increased charges. It also saw season tickets for Keynsham long stay car park almost double from £19.80 to £39.
She said: “You can’t escape the fact that this council is waging war on motorists.”

I’m a bit hazy on this: I think all you say is undoubtedly right about the rear, but there seems to be a bit more “not that fussed, mate” about the front?
It puzzles me that my Stronglight examples cover a range of speeds or the information isn’t given at all.
I also saw some other sites flirting with mixing in 10s Tiagra with 11s 105. Fora are full of this type of stuff!
Agreed. Your brifters (and
Agreed. Your brifters (and most other indexed gear selectors) cement you into whatever speeds setup they are designed for.
You’ll need to decide which bike the additional wheels are going to be for – useful site about cassettes and freehubs: https://www.slowtwitch.com/Tech/Cassette_How-To_-_Part_2_3257.html
You old wheels are either fixable, or are done-in and potentially dangerous, e.g. if the rims are worn thin by years of braking. (Don’t bin the hubs, though.)
If they’re time-served, there’s a risk that one 8s brifter will expire at some point, probably beyond economic repair.
One a quick Google, I can see a couple of EU suppliers who appear to have the replacement Claris chainrings in stock. I’ve never managed to do replacement chainrings – either economics or logistics seem to get in the way. By the time you’ve fiddled about, you could have gone for:

The replacement 8s cassettes and chains are straightforward to find. Groupsets are quite hard to come by still.
