SRAM Shimano compatibility

[vickster]

New bike comes with Tiagra 20 speed and mechanical discs. I’ll try it, but as I prefer SRAM and have spare shifters, I may convert.
I’ve ordered a rear mech in case as I know that will need to be changed.
But how about the front?
TIA

Front should be OK as they aren't indexed - i.e. just one click. Rear definitely as SRAM has a slightly different actuation ratio, although same sprocket spacing.

Thanks Fossy
My albeit minimal OCD may force me to change so it’s the same anyhow

I'm like that - has to be same 'make'.

My cargo bike has 10sp triple SRAM shifters and rear mech with a Shimano front mech. Seems to work fine although it's mountain series rather than road. X5 shifters with Deore mech.
