Thanks Hugo, just checked over my message and 140 must have been a typo, yeah the problem I was up against was I like the messenger cranks I'm running which are 130bcd and the miche advanced chainring I liked is 144bcd so would need to swap out the cranks too because the bigger chainrings dont fit. Money isn't a problem tbh as I've been saving for the swap for some time.
Been looking at 48 tooth and keeping the rear at 16, I've played around with multiple rear cogs on my other bikes and the next step for me is the chainring i think, I'm building up a winter commuter for bad weather so ill put the 44tooth 130bcd on that and then once I've chosen cranks with 144bcd I can swap out the rings as and when on the new bike.
