For some reason I've always though you could mix and match with sram and shimano drivetrains, feel like I read somewhere it was the same cable pull and therefore fine. I was about to buy some sram apex 10s shifters (the price and weight are good and I would like to try sram) to use with a shimano 105 5600 RD, thought I would do some "just in case" googling before pulling the trigger and am getting quite a lot of, admittedly very old, advice that they can't be mixed on the rear.
Can anyone give me a quick and definitive answer?
