Possible last minute change to my new build

Why oh why I'm not sure but I'd like the gear cables to be run under the bar tape and ribble have a good deal on new Ultegra kit. Question is will ultegra 6700 shifters work ok with a 105 5600 rear mech?

Edit:

OK this build could end up being a right mish mash. Will the following components work together

Shimano 105 5600 (the older one) groupset but with Ultegra 6700 (the newer one) shifters and a Sram force chainset?

    After a bit of online research there may be some problems with the front mech . . . to biggie as a front mech is pretty cheap.

    Can anyone confirm the compatability?

    Deffo okay with rear mech.

    I think Shimano increased the spacing between double chain rings between 5600 and 5700 (also 6700). Having said that, it may work.

    I think the pull ratios on the brakes are also different between 5600 and 6700.

    I have just put a 6700 RD with 105 5600 shifters and having a bit of trouble. If the 2nd smallest cog is perfect, then the 2nd largest is really noisy , and vice versa.

    Looked at the shimano compatabilty chart and it looks like there may be an issue here, any ideas why ?
