I went for a short freeway ride yesterday but conditions were less than ideal (cold and wet, with new tires). I will be going out today for a more meaningful ride and will report back. I did notice when wheeling it into the garage that the front brakes are dragging noticeably more than before (no big surprise as the pads are brand new, should get remedied today as the they bed in), so that skewed the results I am sure......
