That is
no excuse to tangent my thread.
Be proud, share your small (or large) setup, and move on.
I don't know what you are going on about in the second post, but your initial question was answered early and often. You are not being held back by your gearing. You weren't held back by the gearing you had before you changed it. Your speed is limited by your inability to hold a normal cadence. You don't need to worry about your gearing, much less anyone else's.
