In answer to the OP, no. Running 22/36 11-32, lifted from a broken 26er and put onto a 29er frame I got. Thought I might struggle and would be in granny all the time (when on my 26er I seemed to drop to the granny quite early due to 36t ring) but haven’t found this to be the case. Rarely drop into granny, bike just seems to climb with little effort. Even considering going 1×10 with a 36 ring and 40T t-rex, will see tho.
Maybe worth mentioning tho, it’s a hardtail compared to the FSer I was on originally – so I may stand up more rather than the sit and spin FS style, also I haven’t done any really big rides on it, so may struggle with the higher gearing after a lot of miles.
