Is anybody using the 2012 SRAM Red Yaw Front Derailleur with SRAM 500 TT or 900 TT shifters? If yes, how’s the performance compared to a non-2012/yaw front derailleur?

Yes, this is how the new 2013 Felt DA3 is equipped. There is really no noticeable change in the stroke length or effort of the shift but the chain “climbs” the big chainring from the smaller ring faster under load in my experience. I prefer the mechanical leverage of the Metron shifter to a traditional bar end shifter. I am not aware of a new R2C shifter that has the same zero-loss and one position stroke of the new RED road shifter.
