I have some clue as to what QS is (front der quick shift...whatever that means)...

Could someone break down the years/labels/functions? Is it worth going "Ultra" or "QS"? What exactly is "Ultra?" etc etc etc

Thanks!

'Ultra' meant for Record they changed the spring carrier to a fiber/plastic type one and the shift disc was drilled for lighter weight and has a teflon type coating. 'QS' for Record and Chorus essentially means nothing and does not require 'QS front ders..again, for Record and Chorus.
