Probably not?
I can't say for definite, because that's a mix of mountain and road groups.

The standard advice is that when mixing and matching between SRAM and shimano, front mechs + shifters will work, rears will not.

That said, I have no idea if mish-mash of road + mountain bits will work. Try looking up the cable pull ratios required and see if they are close, but the most likely answer is that it won't work at all.

Thanks. Hmm, wonder what flat bar shifters will? Research time...

If it's 9speed, then any shimano mtb shifter will work.

Nah, 10 speed. Does the same apply for Shimano 10 sp mtb shifters?
