FD chain rub has been an issue forever and the best Shimano and Campy could offer was trim positions. The Yaw FD is a true breakthrough. SRAM seems to have a different point of view and I'm glad they are in the mix.
I disagree on the FD trim. The Campagnolo solution works perfectly and has the added benefit of allowing the system to work on chainlines that are less than perfect. In short, this has never been a problem for Campagnolo (and less so for Shimano) whereas it has been an issue with Sram for quite some time. The Yaw FD seems to have done the trick.
