Rear derailleur should be no problem, it is the front derailleur cable pull that has changed slightly, but it'll probably work more than acceptably. The feel of the brakes will change a little because cable pull has again changed there. The cable pull doesn't seem to be constant throughout the range of motion with the new levers, so I've found that when using the new levers with old brakes, it's best to adjust the cable so that the bite point (when the pad first touch the rim) is when the levers are a bit closer to the bars than how you would normally set it up (still making sure that the lever cannot touch the bar when full force is applied). However, braking power and feel is still not quite as good as when pairing the brakes and levers to match.
