Shimano SRAM component mix

Couple of questions...

I have X7 shifters. Can I use them with Shimano rear mechs? I suspect not as they have a different actuation ration.. is that correct?

Also I have a SRAM rear cassette and chain. Can I use that with a Shimano rear mech without issue?

Any help appreciated.

Some answers

You are correct that the Shimano rear derailleur is not compatible with your X.7 shifters. You will need to purchase a SRAM 1:1 ratio derailleur. You can use the SRAM cassette and chain with either SRAM or shimano components to include the Shimano rear derailleur.
