I, of course, did change to a larger ring on my hardtail, but there are clearance issues with a full suspension. On most full suspension bikes, at least mine, a 34T chainring is the largest you can go, which might be enough,
But I wasn't asking how to fix the problem, just how useful a gear that low was.
What many of you are missing is the age consideration. What someone can and would do at 30 isn't the same as what they can and would do at 70. The possibility of falling and getting injured is a much bigger consideration when you get old. I'm picturing pedaling like mad, on a really steep climb, and fighting to keep upright. I'd probably get off and walk.
