Just found this , so I might be ok I reckon ?
Welshroadrider wrote: hi quick question do you think its possible to change the Shimano/SRAM M10 freehub on my mavic ksyrium sl 2009 wheels for a 11speed mavic freehub? is that even possible? thanks The only difference between the Mavic M10 and M11 freehub is the name. Essentially they are the same component, only the name was updated when Shimano released 11 speed (to indicate 11 speed compatibility). This means you can fit an 11 speed Shimano cassette to the M10 freehub, just remove all spacers before fitting the cassette. I've attached a handy chart that may come in as a useful reference for similar questions regarding compatibility in the future. Ride safe, Mike Mavic Community Manager

I am 55,100kg have lots of,cycle tracks in my area,was thinking mountain bike,as they have some suspension,so as not to shake the old,bones to much and i am, not wanting to spend big money,just something to be able to,ride around on and improve my fitness level.All suggestions welcome.

I'm only 6 years younger than you, and have both a road and mountain bike, the mountain bike seems like a lot of work on a hard surface, but great on the forest trails. After a couple of years on a road bike, my bones feel younger!

Or try a flat bar road bike. I started with one of these before going to the full road bike.
if the tracks are sealed , then these are a good alternative. https://ivanhoecycles.com.au/bikes/F...rt_inventory=1

i just bought a specialized sirus off a riding mate for $100. thats well and truly mates rates.
2nd hand bikes can be a bit of a lottery, but i knew that buying off a fellow cyclist it was well looked after machanically. 2nd hand will get you better value but there are the associated risks. brands to look at........ well, it depends on your budget really, and the type of riding you will be doing and what you want from a bike. there are some cheaper brands on the market that will probably do the job fine. i'll leave someone else to discuss the pro's and con's of different brands. my knowledge doesn't really go that far, plus i am a bit of a brand snob ![]() |

Plus one for the flat baror even scope yourself a sportive bike with a more relaxed geometry. It really comes down to how you feel comfortable. Shop around and try a few out. Unless you are going to be going bush no need for an MTB.
as for suspension don't bother, just makes it harder as the suspension absorbs your effort.

I got my terminology wrong... I started on a flatbar, not a hybrid.

Giant Norco GT Merida Apollo Lots of options , plenty around and more easy to bargain on price and parts than the more expensive top end brands , especially if you're just a recreational rider. ( like me too ) Of more importance is the group set the bike is running, unless you're partial to a particular brand then I reckon they're all much of a muchness or you're a brand snob like Prydey..... ![]()

There will be an alloy mavic spacer behind your 10 speed shimano cassette, remove that spacer and the 11 speed cassette will go on with no issues.
I have had 10 and 11 speed on my mavic SL wheels. |

Came across this. Thought it was pretty funny. Guy has his first driving lesson and has some inattentive cyclist run into him.

Most decent dual suspension mtb now have CTD (climb-trail-descent) rear suspension which locks it out for climbing. Having recently gone from hard tail to dual suspension I would never go back.

But if you are going to ride locked out most of the time it's bad for the suspension, the frame, as well as it adds unnecessary cost and weight. On my commute home along the Gardiners creek trail the other night, after passing a slow group I was just cruisin along doing 29-30kph (on my flat bar) with two guys on full suspension MTBs on my wheel. They peddling their butts off in top gear just trying to hang on. They were locked out too. Hard tails and dual suspension are awesome for the task they were designed for. But that's not really (most) rail trails, dirt and sealed bike paths.....unless you're looking for a bigger work out. 😛

the bike makes all the difference,
i bought a kmart special a few years ago and even though i was on the flat it still felt like i was cycling up a hill. then i went to sydney for a holiday , visit my dad, he's really into cycling, has done the zoo to zoo, tour de timor and a few other cycling events. he gave me this bike to ride with him and i did 3 laps of a 8 km track around rodd cove (lilyfield, rodds point, birkenhead area) it just flew!! buy a decent bike but don't spend to much, your not a professional. with more expensive bikes your paying for badge, frame material (carbon) , pro class hardware etc..
