I know the front mech is the thorn in the side of RED, should I just swap for a force or YAW front mech or should I also be looking at rings?
...or maybe I should just stick with big ring climbing

Thanks fellas.

Shifting is now on a par with my Dura Ace 7800 equipped bike, which in my opinion sets a benchmark for smooth shifting, only Di2 shifts bettr than 7800 in my experience, 7900 was a step backwards in shift quality, which prompted me to try SRAM.

I kept all the other components the same, just switched out the FD. The yaw FD made a huge difference, it's kinda a pain to set up but the shifting is flawless once you've got it dialed in right.
