The last few weeks I've been riding my fuji track classic I've noticed it intermittently feels like I'm pushing a much bigger gear than I am (49/19), i.e. there's a lot of unexpected resistance. Any ideas what this might be? I've checked all of the obvious things..my brake isn't rubbing, the wheels look true, and the chain tension seems fine.
Could it be something to do with the bottom bracket or the bearings in the hub? It almost feels like riding on really flat tires, and I notice especially when pulling away at traffic lights etc. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
