Mostly it's about your weight to wind resistance ratio. At high speeds, the next thing after wind resistance is tire rolling resistance. Actual bearing friction is way below that and basically irrelevant in all normal cases. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
