When I hear people talk about drag, I want to know what kind of tires they're running.
I recently got a catastrophic puncture on my rear tire (Specialized Eliminator T7) and my buddy gave me a new tire he had lying around (Specialized Butcher T9). T9 are grippier than T7 tires. Holly sh!t, the increase in rolling resistance with the T9 compound was insane. I seriously thought my brakes were dragging just riding on flatland.
