Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Can I mix and match?

Sram shifters with a Shimano deraileur?

I have a nice Ultegra set up I am really liking, but prefer Sram shifters over Shimano, will they work together?

SRAM uses 1:1 ratio for it's rear derailleur, Shimano uses a 1:2 ratio. You may be able to use a JTek Shiftmate to make them compatible, a lot of people have great results with them.
