Yes, you can still get large bash rings that bolt to the outside of your big ring to keep all three. But, really, you won't miss your big ring; replace it with a good poly bash guard.

If you stick to a 32 middle, though, you may find times where you spin out prematurely. This is not so much an issue plunking around on trail rides; but when you start doing more downhill-ish runs at speed, you will find the 32 does not quite cut it.

Easiest solution is to go to a 36t. Remember to get the appropriate-size bash guard for the little-bit-bigger ring.
