Ok, good points. So would changing the outer changing to a 48 or 52 be an improvement and I'm I able to change the outer and have the set up work?
Let me disclose I don't know WTF I'm doing if that helps.
I'm I able to change the outer chainring only. I see there are multiple options on RH website.
Rene Herse Outer Chainring
$85.00 – $115.00
We back up our Rene Herse cranks with excellent service. If your rings wear out after many years of hard riding, or if you want to change your bike’s gearing, select from the options below. You can also use the 9- to 12-speed chainring to convert your existing Rene Herse cranks (use with the suggested inner ring for optimum shifting).
5- to 10-speed compatible
52, 50, 48, 46, 44, or 42
9- to 12-speed compatible
48 (use with 33-tooth inner ring)
46 (use with 30-tooth inner ring)
44 (use with 28-tooth inner ring)
42 (use with 26-tooth inner ring)
