I've been looking at mountain bikes around £750 and one or two have Sram gears.
Is there any good reason to avoid them in this application?
For a podgy middle aged bloke like me wobbling along trails I doubt it matters which company makes the groupset.
But is maintenance straightforward?
All the shops seem to stock Shimano or Shimano compatible bits, so I don't want to buy something that won't take a 'standard' chain, cable or cassette.
