So the new Chorus launches and they have changed the shift/brake lever to metal from carbon. Some of the rear mech parts have also gone back to metal as well. The shape and tech of many pieces are the same as Record and S. Record just heavier materials, which is the usual trickle down. No weight or prices out today, but anyone have any knowledge why they are using less carbon? It used to be that $ to gram/ounce for Chorus was a better deal than Record. Not sure where they are going with this. Larger cassettes, up to a 34 I believe, and more options in the front chainring. That part makes sense for old guys like me and for people setting up a gravel bike possibly. Curious if anyone has any inside scoop where they are trying to position this.
