Do you reckon that the other factor is not getting used to a gearing? I find swapping gear take a while to get the hang of.
I rode 65GI before and it was quite spinny the first week of a long distance ride, but eventually settled, I was glad of being able to climb without overdoing it, despite descending slower than I would like.
