Did you have to add any links to the chain or is that the same length chain you used with a max cog of 28?
One of the keys to be able to successfully use the 32t cog is sizing the chain to run on the big/big combo, so links need to be added. I'm not advocating using that combo but If one shifts to that, they won't break their bike.
