Regarding the comment a few above about just upgrading the tires..… I'm a rookie to this but I wasn't aware that simply changing tires would greatly help to reduce rolling resistance. I have the stock 23 tires that came on the bike. Can you recommend a tire that will reduce resistance??
Most rolling resistance is due to the tires. From the wheels only hub bearings contribute to rolling resistance. And that is relatively small.
