2010 Campagnolo Chorus 11 Rear Derailleur
In comparison to Record 11, the Campagnolo Chorus 11 rear derailleur has more aesthetic than structural differentiation.

2010 Shimano Ultegra RD-6700 SS Rear Derailleur
Wider links. That's the secret sauce for better, faster shifting at the rear derailleur for Shimano's Ultegra 6700 rear derailleur.
