1x10 conversion. Chainring size??

[ecsrobin]

I currently have a 2013 giant anthemX 29er 2 the large chainring is a 39T with 11-36 down back. I'm looking at going 1x10 and it's been suggested I should replace the front chainring down to a 32T but this seems in my head to be to small. Does anyone have any recommendations from their experience of going 1x10?

Certainly not über fit and there's still 1 hill that defeats me at my local trails but I get further up it each ride. Kind of depressing last week when I was walking up it and 4 blokes flew past as if it was a downhill!!

Noticed a slight problem went to look at 32T rings and as it's a 120PCD there's nothing on the market. Think a cheap fix is looking more pricey.

So a 32T narrow wide and a dinner plate on the back sounds the best way to go. Thankyou for the assistance gents.
