I'm gonna try it anyway and see what happens lol.

I have a matching set of 9 speed Tiagra shifters, I'd rather use them if at all possible. If it *won't* work with the SRAM RD I have two options: Buy a new RD, OR use a RH SRAM Apex shifter from my parts bin with a Tiagra LH shifter. Cost being the driving factor on this build, if it doesn't work I'll probably just run with mismatched shifters (SRAM RH, Shimano LH) for a while
