Hello all,
I doing road cycling for almost a year and until lately I rode a 98’ Giant / Ultegra; the bike were not too light and I could maintain nice speeds with it on the plane roads; 10 days ago I got a Cervélo R2.5 w/ full dura ace 7800; the bike weigh 7 kg and no need to tell that one can accelerate and climb pretty good with it; It seems though that once I reach my cruising speed on plane roads it takes more work to maintain the speed; Physically that might be understood – practically, from your experience, should it be like that ? (As I’m still getting used to it, I might just… imagine that ?)
Thanks,
Noam
