unusual I know, but I'm looking at converting my bike to a flatbar. It currently has 10 speed ultegra, 2006 vintage, and I'm looking at mating this to 2013 XO gripshift. is this compatible?

    No, SRAM XO shifters have a cable-pull ratio of 1:1 compared to Shimano's 2:1 - you'd have to use a 10-speed Shimano road flat-bar lever e.g. Tiagra. BTW a 10-speed MTB one wouldn't work, but a 9 would, but you'd have a 'spare' sprocket.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
