probably because of the wind. It should be fine. When i had my 33s and 3.73 gears it had a loss in the 5 gear feeling as well.
Some times I wish I had a 6th... haha

Cold wet air is denser than dry air,plus the rain resistance under the tires, more drag? I notice power losses everytime it rains here and I drive my diesel truck. I have a several mile long grade that takes a mashed go pedal to climb at 73mph max. When it rains its 65 max.
