I think he means slower accelerating.
But to the OP: Doesn't it feel awesome when you get up to speed in the flat stretches? You just gotta get used to mashing that stuff. I dropped a few teeth from my chainring and I hated it at first, but now I'm better at spinning and I'll just be all the faster for it if I ever go back.
