11-32 cassettes are plenty enough, 11-36 maximum for steep stuff
I mean that's just bollocks.
Is it? I've gotten up (miserably) a 25% incline on 42-32 and only spun out approaching 50kmh on 42-11. On the road this is like. People on here always moan about their equipment when a few years ago they'd have been told to HTFU :)

Anyone who claims "gear ratio x" is enough for everyone is wrong. I can climb Everest with both arms behind my back on a 62x11 fixed gear. Big deal. That doesn't work for my Nan, does it?

HTFU now means if you can do everything with 32T, you're not riding hardcore enough trails or your rides are too short.

Total elevation of the ride has more of an impact on your gearing requirements than a single climb. If you already have done 4000m elevation on the day an 8% climb will be harder on the legs than a one-off steep climb at the beginning of the ride.
