Road surface effect on speed?
I do the vast majority of my riding on fairly rough chipseal roads. I notice on the few true asphalt paved roads on my routes that I'm able to maintain a higher speed. However, I don't know if this is just a psychological effect or if there is a measurable difference in rolling resistance and/or power required. Anyone have any data showing differences in speed between different road surface types?
