105 -> 6700 ultegra
i suspect i already know the answer, but just wanted to ask in case i have missed something.
one of my bikes is running 10-sp 105 now (with an ultegra rd). i'd like to sway just the shifters to ultegra 6700. i really like the new hood design and the hidden cables.
i think new shifters come with a new cable set. is there anything else i need to worry about?

I'm not sure the pull ratio on the new Shimano hidden cable is compatible with old 10 speed.

Try using a SRAM RD with a Shimano shifter. The spacing is the same, but the SRAM RD travels that space with a different amount of cable pull than does its Shimano counterpart.
Another thing I HATE about the new Shimano 10 speed; the lack of backwards compatibility. That, and those 10 speed levers aren't compatible with Shimano's MTB rear derailers now, either. I run a MTB RD on my cross bike for the wide range cassette. Looks like the extra expensive SRAM XX RD is in my future should my current components ever go tango uniform.

Its all a conspiricy.
I built up an old Surly Pacer steel frame this weeked with spare parts, Tiagra triple shifters, ultegra double crankset, dura ace FD, DA RD, older 9 speed tiagra cassette...all of several different ages. Worst compatibility ever...After about 6 beers before I knew it I was cannibalizing my crit bike for parts to make the new build work, and now have a CAAD9 needing a new cassette and derailleurs (had just got new ultegra cranks and shifters for it on Friday).

I think the shift increments are the same on 6700, so they are compatible (or so I've been told). I believe there is a difference in the brake pull where the 6700 levers are designed for the 6700 brakes. It will still work with old vs. new, but not at the designed effort curve (sort of hard to think of brakes having a 'gear' ratio, but that's the idea).

it was a bad idea in the first place. i may as well make all my bikes campy.

Are there not compatibility between various Campy groups due to age/series as well? I don't run Campy, so I couldn't say for certain, but I seem to recall there was.
I'm not here to defend any manufacturer, but it seems that this isn't confined to just one.

The pull ratio was changed effecting 7900. IIRC Ultegra is still backwards and forwards compatible.
