i've decided that 1 bike will fulfill all my needs, so the CX bike and road bike have made way for a gravel bike and 2 sets of wheels... (which also means 2 sets of discs, cassettes and chains!).
i'll use a 700c with a 38mm gravelking slick for road duties, and a 650b set of wheels and some, as yet undecided, 2" tyres, for when i want to be a bit more, erm, rad?
so far:
my cx bike previously was a 42t chainring with an 11-36 cassette, which was fine, but i could spin out quite quickly on the road so wanted a harder (taller?) gear whilst staying with a 1x setup. So I planned on going 48t and a 10-42 cassette... Kinesis advised me that 46t was as big as i could go, so i went with a 46t chainring:
plenty of clearance, but it's on now, so it'll do!
and 700c wheels fitted with my old 700x33 cx tyres on , for now....
