Will SRAM work with my Shimano rear derailleur?
No, but ST-5700 (Shimano 105) with concealed shift cables will work with 10-speed Tiagra. Using bar-end shifters on drop bars will just move the dangling loops of a shift cable to a slightly different location.

Well I finally bit the bullet and ordered a Surly Straggler, had the first ride out today and it was the most fun I've had on two wheels in a long time!
I went for an appropriate frame size this time round, since its intended to be a sensible off-roader/touring bike, however I can help but look at the lack of seatpost on show and think the bike is too big for me. Maybe its down to the fact I ride a road bike frame thats too small for me with a lot of post showing. Hopefully I get used to it.
I want to make the change to bar end shifters asap as I hate the exposed brake cables on the Tiagra shifters, Will SRAM work with my Shimano rear derailleur?
I've also ordered an inline post to get me sitting a bit further forward, hopefully I can snag a 'Pizza rack' at some point too.
