Have a couple of those, haven't noticed any drag on the bikeS. There's an article by Rob Dean about the weight/resistance somewhere, just eat a digestive biscuit every few hours of riding to even it out.

Don't worry about drag, you're already riding a very heavy bike, that will be almost no difference.

I thought about the trail issue and front loading but I'm planning to pack light, keep the heavy stuff in the frame bag and seat pack.
By the end of my last trip I had added a front rack to my caadx and added quite a lot of weight and after a few days you don't notice the difference in weight.
Currently trying to decide whether to get a dynamo or not... Looking at the Shutter precision pd8. Other option is just to carry a high capacity usb battery pack and charge when I get back to civilisation.
It won't add much weight I guess around 200g I'm just concerned I'll notice the drag...
