Hi everyone,

I had a question for anyone who has more experiencing working on bikes than me. My brother just picked up a nice Soma Double Cross that's set up as a 1x8 with bar end shifters. The current chainring is a 39, but the guy tossed in a 46 as well. Would it be possible to add another chainring to this crank and run it as a double? I think a 46/30 would provide a really nice range for its intended purpose as an all rounder. I attached a photo of the current set-up. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
