Hey, Gang, pleez, this is a no brainer, and I'm still a lap or two away from the pack of perfection, but whgat does the following have to do with the subject line. as wwe were taught in our early years, clean up after yourselves

That's nothing compared to the 50K+ miles I put on a set of DuraAce 8-speed STIs on my 1992 Vitus 992. Over the winter I upgraded the 992 to DA 9-speed and moved the 8-speed stuff to an old Trek 1400, where it continues to give flawless service.
