Bar end shifter question
I need to replace my dura ace shifters for my cervelo aero bar and just purchased ultegra 6700 rear derailleur and couldn't find an ultegra 10 speed one. I see 8 but no 10. I see Dura Ace 10 speed ones and I was wondering if they work work well with my RD? BTW, my front derailleur is 6800 ultegra.
Thank you in advance!

Yes, all of Shimano's bar-end shifters for the last couple generations have sold as Dura-Ace. The SL-BS79 Dura Ace 10 speed shifters will index perfectly with your RD-6700.
Your FD-6800 may require more (or maybe less?) lever pull than you've become accustomed to. If you compare the FD-6800 and FD-6700 visually, you'll see that the 6800 has a much taller lever arm. This changes the cable pull required at the shifter. But I don't know if it increased or decreased the amount of cable pull compared to the last generation.
Now the BS79 front/left shifter is friction-only and has tons of lever throw available; it can handle a triple crank. So it should work fine if more cable pull is required. If less is required, then you'll have a very short shift, which would also work fine.

Yes you can mix and match as long as its shimano and the same number of gears. I know this was already answered over a month ago but I just wanted to enforce the truth of this statement.
