Here's ye olde Bombadil with my newly added "fake outer ring" aka chainring guard, which is covering a 34T narrow-wide ring by Raceface. Cassette is 11-42 and this gives me enough low end for real steep stuff (which happens a lot around here) and enough top end to pedal out on pavement descents - and this range is so well optimized for my needs that I use every gear very regularly, but rarely need more. If this was a more road-oriented bike or I didn't live in the mountains I'd probably swap to a 38T or maybe 40T up front, but I'd always prefer to run out of top end than low end.
