My bike does not have the YAW FD but a standard red FD....I can't see there would be a difference but it never hurts to ask.
I was just researching this recently. I have a new BB30 frame for which I needed cranks and really liked the SRAM Red 22. But I use Shimano 11 speed shifters and derailluers and Sram discourages use of their exogram cranks with anything but Yaw front derailleurs. But then I found this...
It works! We test SRAM Red backwards compatibility - VeloNews.com.
It indicates that newer Sram cranks work very well with the shimano derailleurs they tested so that was good enough for me; the found also that the new rings actually improve the shifting of older Sram Red derailleur (of which they apparently are not a fan); so that would be good for you.
My new Red22 cranks arrived tonight so we shall see.
