    Alright lads and lasses,

    My frame won’t take a 50 big ring (don’t ask) so I got a 36/46 cyclocross chainset.

    Can I swap the 36 ring for a 34 ring or will it cause problems?

    Cheers

    34 and 36T rings are the same

    34 and 36T rings are the same 110 mm BCD. It should be a straight swap.

    Your front derailleur will stay happy too, as there’s only 12T difference between your chainrings. Most road double front mechs have a limit of 16T difference.
