I am a MTBer. Have been gradually changing my non suspension bike to a
commuting/touring bike and now the only way to take it further is to
get a new bike.
I have decided I'd like a Cyclocross as it would suit me for touring
and the CAADX Tiagra currently appeals
BUT...
It comes with 36/46 chain rings.
I want this bike to be a fast commute/tourer.
Could/should I change the big ring to a 50? or maybe even bigger?
Is it possible to even get a bigger chain ring for a FSA Omega MegaExo 36/46?

I'll be changing the tyres for semi slick/hardpack towpaths anyway
(something similar to my MTB Maxxis wormdrives)
