Can I use a Shimano cassette with SRAM group?
Quick compatibility question (search results were not definitive) - I have a wheelset with one of those worthless 10 speed only hubs and have learned that SRAM cassettes will not fit. I also prefer Shimano 12/27 gearing. Can I use my ultegra cassette with a SRAM Red group?

Sram and Shimano use the same spacing width. But they utilize different ratios of cable pull.
Thus Sram and Shimano cassettes, chains, and chainrings are interchangeable. But SRAM brifters need to be paired with SRAM rear deraileurs (particularly rear) And Shimano brifters need to be paired with Shimano rear derailleurs.
