Hi

I have a Kona Dew hybrid that has a triple chainset on the front that is a 48/38/28.

this is the cheap chainset on it

I want to increase the size so it is more like a road bikes range as I don't have enough gears with the 700c wheels on this hybrid.

can I use this?

if so do I need to change anything else??

thanks

    A little surprised that you're running out of gears with a 48 x 11, but the chainset you've selected should be fine.
