Anyone know if Shimano shift cables work in SRAM shifters?

All name brand road shift cables and brake cables work on the rest. The difference is in the material. Shimano and Campagnolo are available in stainless steel which doesn't get old and rust and jam in the outer casings as the REALLY cheap stuff does. Some of the less expensive inner cables are made with steel wire but coat them with teflon of some nature. These seem to work fine but I've never used one long enough to get any idea of their lifespan. One thing you have to be careful is that shift cables come in different lengths. On tandems you need the very long ones that are 350 cm or so long. Most large road bikes with the deepest bars, longest stems can easily use the 210 cm cables but some sets are sold for small bikes and are only 170 cm long and may be too short for your bike. If you have to replace your rear derailleur inner be sure and measure it and keep it written down somewhere.

Better model SRAM grip shifters like X-0 and XX definitely should be used with the thinner 1.1mm cables whenever possible! (Yes, SRAM do make 1.1mm shift cables). However, for cheaper shifters it matters less, and for the grip shifters on kids bikes it makes no difference at all. Shimano shift cables are all 1.2mm

These will work on any bike with straight bars and a Shimano freehub with the corresponding number of sprockets (this appears to be a 7-speed shifter). Left shifter (for front derailleur) is a non-indexed friction type that can be used with most any derailleur and triple chainwheel.

My kit does not include shifter and shifter cable. I purchased those two items separately.

I did not see the whole question earlier. The Sram 4 and Sram 5 may have a different shifting ratio. The Sram 4 has a different ratio than Shimano. I think the Sram 5 is the same as Shimano, so it may not work without other changes. I am sorry I didn't see the whole question (Amazon's fault) initially. Good luck.

Did you ever find out? I thought SRAM uses a different pull ratio, making them incompatible with Shimano equipment.

It does works on SRAM chains. Just make sure you have the right chain. 7,8,9 or 10 link for the same chain.

Yes, they sure will. A far better set up, IMHO, than downtube shifters. These won't take your hands off the bars to make shifts. In fact just a quick thumb movement it all it takes, just twist your wrist up or down to activate. Also better than the old 'stem shifters'. Not quite as good as Integrated Brake Lever shifters - but far less expensive, 25 versus 120 dollars.

If by X0 Shifter you mean X0 Rear Derailleur, then I'd have to say maybe. They have the same number of teeth and work on the same number of speed ranges, but it's hard to tell if the cage screw (holds the pulleys in place and the cage halves together) holes are the same diameter between the Shimano and Sram parts. Not sure if that helps any.

Yes, this is the rear 9-speed and front 3-speed shifters with cable.These also have the removable gear indicators with the covers attached to the shifter, under the indicators. The block-out plates come on the shifters from the factory, previous answer is incorrect. The seller told me they didn't home with the shifters but when they arrived, covers were there, right where Shimano put them.

Yes, these shifters clamp to the handlebar. They do work very well; I prefer them to indexed shifters for casual riding and reliable, easily "tuned" shifting (to eliminate noisy misalignment common to indexed shifters that aren't tuned perfectly).

Little late to the party, but SRAM 4.0 rear derailleur is 1:1, so these shifters are compatible.

Yes. Those are the ones on my bike. But your derailers might have a different ratio and that could cause incosistancies when shifting.

No I believe you can't. You need to use shifters with the same gear ratio that your bike is configured with in order for them to work properly

yes it will work. Adjusting for perfect shifting was a little challenging. It is best to use Sram rear derailer and cassette with Sram shifters and vs.

These do not act as shifters. As a road and track racer, i honestly i dont recommend these levers. i think that the C clamp that you tighten to the handbar isnt strong enough and i had a lot of play after a short time of using them...

You would need to find an adapter. I found mine on here... Something like this...http://www.amazon.com/Black-Adapter-Manual-Shifter-Selector/dp/B00P9DVRCS/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid;=1422996848&sr;=8-10&keywords;=shift+adapter

Hey...I'm pretty sure they will. I've been on the road vs. MTB much more often as of late, so I'm not 100% sure, but I've got an 8 speed SRAM if I'm remembering correctly.
