Brand''s answer:
Bonjour Alan, Votre cassette 11 vitesses passera sur le corps de cassette si c’est une cassette de type Sram/Shimano et pas SRAM XD, et vous aurez peut-être besoin d’entretoises en plus pour l’adapter. N'hésitez pas à nous appeler si vous avez la moindre question supplémentair
e. Belle journée, au plaisir de vous revoir au Décathlon Sainte-Foy. Noëmie,Leader du Service à la Clientèle.

Absolutely brilliant service from Alex, helped me massively with my choice of bike, not pushy at all, only went in to have a look as was originally looking for an electric bike, but too heavy, very happy with his help, thanks
