Whoa, that's bizarre. Just like you, I have the original, and I talked my
friend into buying the new version, which he loves. Slottweak's comparison
is right on the money for both of our versions. I think the pedals on the
new version are MUCH better than the older ones. I use CH pedals instead so
it doesn't bother me.
The problem I have is that my paddle shifter microswitches are on their last
legs - starting to miss shifts, they don't 'click' anymore, etc. They would
be VERY easy to replace if I could just get the parts! 2 microswitches
mounted on 2 small PC boards. Guillemot doesn't respond to my requests. If
anybody has some spare, I'd love to buy them off you.
