How to fit a bigger chainring on MTB?

This is preferred, to keep common discussion together in most cases.

I race my Mtb on gravel, and it’s really easy to spin out a 36-10t.

Plugging those sizes into http://www.bikecalc.com/speed_at_cadence and assuming a 700c/29er wheel size, at 120 rpm you are doing 60km/h.

Buying a power-meter is a lot like getting married.

Does that mean buying power pedals makes me a swinger? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

LOL at them calling you the mountain bike kid.

That looked fast. I can definitely understand spinning out a 36 honking along like that. What size tyres do you throw on for those sorts of events?

so fellas, my problem is the following
this is my bike, a ghost slamr 4.9, 29 wheels, size L

Manufacturer tells me I can fit a bigger chainring, current is 32T with 3mm offset, and that a 34T would fit
from the pictures, I am not sure if that would be possible, does it exist some kind of spacers, or usually what is the solution here, to ride faster, basically - I am attaching 2 pictures, so you can see it closely
current setup is sram 32t and a cassette 11-50 teeth. The store I have bought the bike told me is not a good idea to change the cassette, for example for some 10-52, as I would also have to change the hub and that for sure would be too expensive - what is your opinion and potential ideas for riding faster? thanks in advance!
