Geez thanks dude for taking efforts in clearing it out. You rock! :)
The inertia/built up thing was noticed by me as well but I was kinda disappointed to get overtaken by that 26er. Should not but it happened :P. Tiring myself was bad idea. I am going back to basics. Instead of riding at 19th speed (Front 3 and Rear 5), I am riding at 12/13/14th speed (Front 2 and Rear 5/6/7) as per the cadence requirements of legs. As tempting as it is, I would like to control temptations of rushing into high speed thingy and become a rash driver on mumbai roads. It's damn tough managing that temptation when you see an empty stretch, you know :(
Mountain bikes have a really wide range of gears in the rear, so unless you are really doing some real climbing (6% grade and higher), you don't need to shift down from the big ring on the front; keep shifting the rear cogs and you'll be fine. Biggest ring on the front plus the gears on the rear should give you enough combinations to tackle most shorter climbs, and you'll make better time.
