Thanks for the prompt reply Jesse. That's what I suspected (re: compatibility), and further research this weekend confirmed it. I've already started phasing in SRAM cassettes & chains to my bike builds; complete drivetrains are next!

To the best of my knowledge I do not think that Shimano shifters will work with Sram derailluers, there is the whole issue of cable pull ratios. However the same was said about Shimano and Campy and as history has shown (see issue 1 of the print mag) this has been busted. Give it time I'm sure someone will post a way to do it. If not you could always look online for killer deals on rival shifters. As to the durability i am a clydesdale and switched from Shimano to Sram four years ago on my road…

Thanks to everyone for the insights. As a Shimano diehard and having built several road, MTB, CX and tandems w/the stuff, I was real curious how SRAM stuff holds up. Has anyone tried running Ultegra shifters with Force or Rival F&R derailleurs and cassette? is this a stupid question?? :-) I have a nice Ultegra shifter set I'd like to use on a new CX build I'm doing - and I'm thinking about SRAM for the rest of it.<br />

Thanks! TH

I've had different mechanics in the same shop have totally opposite feelings about SRAM-love it or hate it.<br />
<br />
I'm a Campy lover and it took me lots and lots of years to finally acknowledge that Shimano makes some great stuff.<br />
<br />
Having been told that SRAM is not as easy to work on (as Campy) once problems crop up-that'll hold me back from buying that product.

No, it doesn't. Ask my ex. She's on 12 year old Campy because of it.

I have to update this. It appears that the spare parts PDFs on Campy's site have been changed, or my memory is crap. Veloce through Record internals in the left ergo have the same p/n. Record and Chorus are the same (11s) and then Centaur and Veloce are the same (10s). Super Record internals have a different p/n for both ergos.
