You need to get flat bar road levers, so it would require seperate shifter pods and levers, apart from that no problem.

+1 for these on the rear. I put these on my galaxy (9 speed deore) when I converted from drops to butterfly. Can't recommend the front shifter though as it couldn't cope with the triple on mine. I ended up reusing the bar end lever on the down tube.
