Force-22 FD & Left Shifter with 2013 Force Crank?
Hey, all!
I happened to purchase my new bike just before the announcement of Force-22, so I have the 2013 Force with compact double crankset. I really like the new yaw FD on Force-22, but wasn't sure if the new Force-22 double crankset has the same chainring spacing as the 2013 crankset. Would I be able to swap in a Force-22 FD and Force-22 left brifter lever and keep the rest of my 2013 Force setup? Or would I have to replace the entire set to get the yaw FD? I'm not entirely a fan of having to trim my FD all the time since I spend a lot of time in the big ring and the large cassette cogs. I figure if the Force-22 and 2013 Force chainring spacing is the same, then this should work fine, right? Or is there something I am missing?
Thank you to any and all who can help with this!

Actually, never mind; I'm going to go with a 10-speed RED Yaw FD instead. Should be a better bet as long as I can find it used/cheap.
Cheers, all!
