Hi there,
I am pretty new to maintaining my own bike as I've only been riding regularly for 5 months.
I think the rolling resistance on my bike has increased lately with very little explanation.
I had brake troubles with my disk brakes making a horrible sounding noise and diminished stopping power. I took it to a shop nd the fellow toe'd in my pads and tightened the cables which made them awesomely powerful. (although they have started getting less powerful again - unknown as to the reason.)
I have done little to no maintenance to my bike since I got it except from oiling the chain and pulling as much dirt and crap out of the drivetrain as I find.
OK on the topic,
I was wondering what areas of the bike put resistance on the bike when your moving - I only know about brakes dragging and keeping your tyres pumped.
Can the axles or anything else give noticeable resistance?
