Centaur=105=Rival

Yes, YOU may be able distinguish the difference, but 90% of the buying population will look at the above and accept it.

Btw, I doubt very many people will be able to distinguish between SR and Rec either!

Further, Force weighs about the same or lighter than Chorus, so again, 90% of the sheeps, excuse me, buyers will look and say the comparison is right!

Besides, how else is Sram going to make up that 10M-15M they just loss....

Good Luck!
Well, ya know Chorus is third and SR in terms of materials anyway, makes it top tier, none other compare...why it's expensive..kinda like a Gold/Stainless Rolex VS a 18k gold one.
