Hi,
I have been sourcing a moubtain bike on a budget of about £500 and fancied a Giant Talon 27.5 version 4 but they are all sold out in a medium frame. I can get a version 5 for £400 but it has 24 gears instead of 27. I am buying this as a MTB starter bike but would have to do me a couple of years and I would like to use it for off-road triathlons. Would I be hindered by 24 gears? Especially on uphill climbs?
Thanks
A Farroll
