Hello,

I have a 2013 Cube GTC Agree SL, with a compact SG-X 50-F chainset. I am looking at changing the big chainring to something bigger but I'm not sure where to start or what will fit. Any advice would be really helpful.

Cheers

    TBH it's a common question for those new to cycling when in fact it's simply down to pedalling faster - 50x12 is good enough for 70kph+. But, if you have a 34 inner ring you'll need to change that too as your front mech is only designed to cope with a 16 tooth difference in sizes and the likely chainring size is 110mm BCD. Alternatively, you could fit a cassette with a smaller top sprocket i.e. 11 tooth if you still think you need bigger gears - but you'll unlikely go any faster.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
