How do Veloce/ Centaur derailleurs shift? Is there any noticeable difference to Chorus/ Record, or is it more a weight factor? Thanks.

Record rear ders are expensive they are almost 100% carbon fiber and the rest is titanium. Chorus are about 50% carbon with no titanium. This is the main reason they are so much more than comparable Shimano. I am using Centaur, Veloce and some Mirage and they work very well. Centaur being the nicest finished of the three. Good luck
