• Are SRAM shifters compatible with Shimano components or would I need to change to a SRAM groupset? I'm looking to upgrade the shifters on my 'ancient' and little used Trek.

  • SRAM shifters are only compatible with SRAM mechs, the rest of the groupset should be fine. Providing the amount of sprockets on the cassette match the amount the SRAM shifters are designed for, other wise you'll need a cassette and chain as well.

  • They aren't, no. I kinda forgot to check that before I bought some SRAM shifters on eBay.. So now I've gotta get compatible derailleurs, but at least I'll be more comfortable!!

    And as far as I'm aware, it's just the derailleurs that'd need changing if you're getting Sram shifters (assuming you're matching the speeds of the shifters with your current cassette), but someone correct me if I'm wrong? Plus cables..
