sram do make shifters to be used with shimano mechs (as quoted before, attack and rocket) but shimano shifters dont work with sram mechs.

i have used the attack triggers before and they are ace, i used to be a fan of shimno kit but after trying them, i much prefer sram to shimano shifters now.

i always find the tables here handy when these questions come up:

beyond the "special SRAM stuff" advice already posted, they seem to say "no".

Front mech [shimano] is compatible with Sram shifters. Rear you need matching mech and shifter. I run Sram X9 on my bike, but with an XT front mech.
