Different Size of chainrings.
i regular have a 50/34 chain rings on my road bike.
Race Face Cadence Road Chainring Set 9/10s (53T/39T) - Mountain Equipment Co-op. Free Shipping Available
Would there be much of a problem if i went to a 53/39?
would that cause in problems with chain or gearing?
or performance issues on road biking? etc?
only reason for asking, is having hard time finding my original size

What is wrong with your old chainrings? Worn? How much? How many miles?
This is a 50/34 set.

They should be pretty easy to find. Shifting is supposed to be a little better if you buy matched pairs of chainrings, but assuming you have 110bcd chainrings, then there are a lot of options available. Search for "Compact" or "110bcd" "chainring set".
If you do jump to a 53T set, you'll probably need a new chain and will have to raise the front derailleur slightly. Not a big deal, but just expect a few adjustments.
