As a road biking newbie I'm probably asking a silly question but here goes.

I've been riding mtbs for the past 4 years. When I'm cleaning the chain I gauge its condition by flicking the pedals backwards and seeing how long they continue to spin for. I generally figure that if they continue on for most of a rotation then the chains in OK shape

So, I've just got my first road bike (brand new Trek 1000) and I've put around 50 miles on it since Saturday. I'm putting it away tonight and I figure that I'll give the pedals a flick for comparison and its very sluggish - moving probably less than 0.5 of a revolution - is this normal, or should I think about taking it back to the lbs?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
