Having researched this before I think the Ultegra bar-ends don't pull enough cable for a 10-speed SRAM mech, even in friction mode. Unless you mean that you're running a SRAM/Ultegra mix already?

I've used it on 10 speed for a while. You get used to it. Downtube mounted, not bar end.
SRAM casssette, kmc chain and ultegra long cage rd (slightly bent too hence friction mode - worked fine).

Easyeast and probably best way: go with drops and Ultegra bar end shifters in full friction mode.
My drivetrain is fully compatible and after I tried friction mode I never wanted to go back.
BUT! Friction mode only works nicely up to 8 speed and maybe 9 aswell. Above that it´s a bit tricky to find the right cog.
