Paddle Shifters - Carbon version not working?!
#16
Ok, I was curious enough to test mine out to see if they actually work... and they DON'T!
Since I preferred the stock shifters anyway, I never did test them. But I can now confirm mine don't work either!! I re-installed the stock ones and they work perfectly (sorry, not going to disassemble my stock ones just to test, since I wasn't planning on using the CF ones anyway...). I can't even sell them knowing they don't work
Khoa - I wonder what we can do about this... This makes at least 2 cases where the CF paddles don't work. I hope others won't be affected by this either.

I seriously think this is really strange. I have seen other makers' carbon shifters and they wroked. the paddles themselves shouldn't have any electronic in them, all they can do is act as a switch. I'll have to test them out now. There is no different in electronic parts between a regular isX50 or ISF, correct me if I'm wrong. The different are in the sizes and shape of the paddles.

Was kind of hoping it was just my set that were faulty!
I'm quietly confident no set of these carbon shifters will work properly on the IS-F.
There must be some conductivity with the magnesium paddles that you don't get with the carbon skinned versions?
Such a shame.
Love how they look.
Will wait to hear back from you Khoa on what the seller suggests.
Cheers guys.

Don't see what else I can try that I haven't done already?!

Since I didn't have an intent to use them, I just did a quick swap in/out of the complete assembly to test them - I didn't want to disassemble the stock electronics/paddles (nor should have to really do that anyway...)

I'll give that a go to see if my OEM paddles work with the carbon versions electronics.
If so, it proves the issue lies with the carbon paddles.
Will report back with my findings.
