Edit: I'm wrong. There are some rivets but I'm not sure what they do (chain catcher?). The rings are bolted on.

So changing the chain rings seems to be the way to go. It looks like the front derailleur (Tiagra) can only handle a 16T gap so I'll need to change both rings. Can I use any 10 speed chains that have a 90mm BCD / 30T and a 120mm BCD / 46T? Any recommendations?

Typically, I can't seem to find any in stock, and wondering if I'm better just buying a crankset and taking the rings off.
