U think mayb better bearings and hub?

He also has a mtb

 

I guarantee you will not notice the difference with better hubs or bearings.

 

Just make sure that the bearings that you have are doing what they should be doing.

When last did you check and possibly service them.

If your pad is touching your disk it will slow you down - you may not hear it.

 

The type of tyre you use will have the biggest affect on resistance.

Tyre pressure also has an influence.

It's aerodynamics.

Pull your helmet onto your head. It mustn't sit on the top

 

Check the fit of your helmet - looks too small unless you have a manbun if so remove.

More important than new hoops or hub - seriously.
