CX gearing options

[Gfi3]

I apologize if there is already a thread on this subject here, but I couldn't find one.

Just bought a cheapo cx bike (KHS CX 100) to give racing a go this season. At my first race last week I noticed a number of riders with a single ring up front. My current setup came with compact cranks 50/34 and an 11-32 in the rear. Seems like an ideal setup to swap to 1 x 10.

I didn't find myself using either high or low extreme of my gearing and I'm drawn to the simplicity of the 1x system.

Anyone have experience with this or a good recommendation for front chainring size? Or overall gearing in general? What do my fellow cx racers on here run?

Thanks!
