Don't panic; I haven't fitted gears, I just went down a couple of teeth on the chainring.
I was quite surprised after commuting round Heathrow for a year or so (and gearing up accordingly) how much the short climbs were taking out of me. And the extra 5 miles each way, of course.
Anyway, it's taken the edge off those climbs and I'm now accelerating uphill like I used to!
I thought I might get used to the higher gear but I guess I'm not as young as I was (47 in Feb)...
