Hi Guys
I have owned a Ribble Gravel Bike for a little while now. It is kitted out with a SRAM Rival 1 x 11 groupset
This is 42t up front, with a 42-11 cassette. I have found that i have very quickly run out of gears and spend a lot of time sitting on the 11t cog. I would like to replace the Chain ring with a 46t or 48t up front. Looking at this to fit the SRAM cranks (hidden bolt).
My Questions:
Thanks in advance.

My Questions:
- Jumping to 46t, will that create a huge change in gearing ratio?
- Will I need to extend the chain? On biggest cog at the back, rear derailleur site at about 90 degrees to frame.
- Will the highlighted chain ring actually fit?
Thanks in advance.
