thanks all for your observations. Even so, it would still be interesting to see this tested out on a dyno, with a load on the saddle. FWIW, this notion arose after replacing some cheap wheels with a set of Pacentis with glassy smooth White Industry hubs. What an improvement! Not sure, however, how much was due to lighter, wider rims.
