I do wonder as to the relative sizes of these two two circles – like any car customer caring for climate?
Eh ?

Lots of good options and advice above, i’d also maybe suggest RedWhite for a bib focused company (especially long distance) with a good reputation
Grow up.
Grow up.
I don’t think any of this is
I don’t think any of this is helped by Tesla moving completely away from using Lidar sensors, and relying on vision based systems. Can’t help feeling that’s a huge retrograde step, and hope the hints about them going back to it, or high resolution radar, come to something.

Thoughts ? They’re one of the most well known manufacturers outside of the China internal market, and have an increasingly good reputation for decent kit, especially some of the Hyper wheels which seem to perform extremely well, with a good following. Given they even impress Hambini, i’d say that they’re probably a good bet technically in general.
QR thru-axles I’ve seen have
QR thru-axles I’ve seen have all been much quicker when removing the front wheel, wee bit slower on the rear.
They do, because to avoid
They do, because to avoid weighing an actual (Imperial) ton they’re often made with narrow section tubing, which consequently flops around like a noodle. I mean a rather robust noodle, to be fair, but one none the less. Used to try and watch mine bend by slamming the front brakes on BITD. What fun.
Who are these people ? What
Who are these people ? What channels ? I watch a fair few cycling related ones but haven’t come across these yet, might be amusing..
“As I understand it huge
“As I understand it huge tyres are only necessary to soften the effects of the stiff, overbuilt forks on road bikes needed to counter the force of disc brakes”
Um, no. What made you think that ?
That’s amazing ! How on earth
That’s amazing ! How on earth do they get themselves up the hill ?
Yeah, plenty of people have
Yeah, plenty of people have done so, worth checking Velonews (and elsewhere) for various articles on this e.g. https://www.velonews.com/gear/drivetrain-compatibility-hidden-in-plain-sight/Technically there are fractional mm differences in cog spacing, but for all practical purposes it should Just Work. Also if this is for the trainer then any ERG mode stuff is only going to use a single front/rear cog combination anyway, so that’d be good with anything (preferably small chainring at the front)
Exactly, it’s to help
Exactly, it’s to help businesses reopen in a responsible manner. The fact that it might possibly add a handful of seconds going up to Hampton Road, or down to Whiteladies, seems an eminently reasonable exchange to me.
If you are willing to experiement stay with the SS and try 11-32 with a longer b screw (ebay for a couple of quid). If fails then update rear mech to GS...or a derailleur hanger extender online (~£5-20 depending on provenance), but i’d give the SS/longer screw a go as suggested – more than likely work (and try the B-tension screw round the other way if necessary/not long enough).
PlanetX have another tyre and
PlanetX have another tyre and inner-tube sale on at the moment (until Monday)
There’s a range of widths/value lengths e.g. 25-32mm Continental Race 28 Wide @ £1.99

The 40T should be OK with the
The 40T should be OK with the R7000 GS (or the R8000 or even 6800 GS, the Shadow-based mech are apparently better though) but 42T would be a stretch without a hanger extender (look on eBay for RoadLink-alikes for a few quid).. or indeed most Shimano 11-speed or newer 10-speed road stuff in medium/long cage. Won’t have the clutch, hence suggesting the GRX 400, but that may not be a massive issue to the OP.
Left field might be an S-Ride RD-M520C rear mech if there’s one you can get.
