Try Piston Bikes in Simi Valley which is not that far from you.

What sprocket, (tooth count) are you currently using? The higher the tooth count the lower the gear ratio. A 48T sprocket will pull hills better than a 44T. A 56 will almost let you climb trees but your top speed will suffer. Think of a car with a manual transmission. A small sprocket will be like leaving the car in a high gear all the time. A larger sprocket will be like leaving the car in a low gear.
