Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Individual sprockets are hard to come by, and if you find them, so expensive that 2 would cost about what a cassette does.

I'd live with the noise or (shameless plug coming) use a chain oil that effectively muffles the noise.
