  1. can this bar end mounted shifer be used
    with cabling it to a conventional xtr shifter i.e. can
    i attach it straight to the rear mech and simply shift up and down
    as normal ?

    Nope. The remote shifter pulls the paddles of the normal shifter. It
    doesn't contain any springs, a ratchet, or any means of anchoring a normal
    gear cable. It's simply a remote means of operating the paddles of the
    master shifter.
