How shit is Shimano ESSA going to be?
A 8 speed 40t ring and 11-45 groupo for under £160 complete sounds pretty good.

As it's flat bar, probably perfectly OK and more than any of us really need...

... But saying that, it's double the price and depending on what's being built, SLX 12 speed with 11-51 is £325 and verified not shit..

Cheers, although that is a bargain, it’s for a rim brakes bike. For someone with zero mechanical knowledge, so I’m thinking 8 speed would be much more forgiving. Also older 8 speed mtb bits should play nicely with it if needs be.
