    Hi
    Just asking if there’s any reason why I shouldn’t use Ultegra 6700 levers with SRAM Force mechs? I know SRAM only recommend using their levers with their mechs but I can’t see any reason why Ultegra with Force mechs would be a problem.

    Anyone know any better?

    Agreed – fronts (left levers) are interchangeable, but one buys and uses them as pairs usually 😉

    I think they have a different cable pull ratio – Most Sram is 1:1 vs 1:2 for Shimano , from memory. So unless you can find a ‘shiftmate’ adapter (they do ones from Campag to Shim but not sure on Sram) you’re best sticking with one make.
