Mixing Campy Components

Hi everyone.

My road bike is a Specialized S-Works Tarmac with a campagnolo record groupset. I've been a bit neglectful and let the chain go a too long, so now it's time for a new chain and cassette. Going to do it myself so that it's not tied up at the shop forever. I've been reading up on what I need, and it seems pretty straight forward. I've got the tools on order, new chain, and looking around at cassettes. I've found a campy veloce cassette for much cheaper than record with the same cogs (12-25). What I've read though is that the veloce cassette will all be loose cogs rather than welded together which might cause extra wear on the freehub body. My question to you all is whether or not this is a legit concern or if I shouldn't about it. I ride roughly 50-60 miles a week, averaging around 200 watts, if this helps.

Thanks for the advice!
Mike
