Just looking on ebay at shifters and wondering what's involved with replacing them...

I have 9 spd Sora shifters on my bike at the moment, with a Tiagra rear derailleur, so if I was to buy a set of Tiagra brake levers/shifter would it be as simple as replacing the shifters, setting the cables up right and you're laughing or is there more involved? Know a bit about bikes but not enough to start disassembling just now!
