First of all a big thank you for everybody who can help out with the question!

The bike is Scott Aspect 960: https://www.scott-sports.com/gb/en/product/scott-aspect-960-red-bike

Currently the highest gear ratio is 36/11. I'm looking to upgrade that to go on a more slower cadence on long gravel routes at a higher speed.

Would replacing the front cassette with this one do the job: https://www.bike-discount.de/en/shop/crank-2-3-x-8-speed-409/l-24

The shifter for the crankset has 2 gears listed, but the crankset here has three gears. What are the solutions for upgrading?


More info: When we need to go with a 2 ring crankset, would this work:

https://www.modernbike.com/shimano-alivio-m415-42t-7-8-speed-outer-chainring

I'm anyways looking to upgrade the crankset to a Shimano one, so would it fit with this larger chainring?

As I understand, I would need to put on a longer chain then as well?
