Hi,
Possibly a deeply stupid question but I can't quite figure it out.

So ignoring the whole recall issue for a minute.

Are the hydraulic road disk master cylinder and shifter (either the Red 22 or the S-700) compatible with lesser offerings in the range? Specifically the 20 Speed SRAM Apex front and rear derailleur?

If I've worded the above stupidly please correct me as I haven't really got the hang of all the jargon yet.

    The question makes sense... I have no idea about the answer though... :roll:

    I see no reason why not. All SRAMs MTB kit is interchangeable between levels (except 10spd).

    Check on SRAMs webby site about the shifting technology for each level and I bet they all use the same.

    All 10 speed SRAM shifter are compatible with all SRAM 10 speed mech but red is 11 speed so that will not be compatible with a Apex 10 speed rear mech. Front mech will probably work fine though.

    Great, so looks like the S-700 would be compatible. Thank you for your help, I will have a closer look at the SRAM website as well.
