To be precise: the 175s feel harder to spin at higher cadences; for me, that;s 90+. They feel easier to spin, or to get up to a certain cadence, *maybe,* at lower cadences, and given the bulk and diameter and contact patch of the wheels -- 61 mm actual -- compared to the ~ 27 to 31 mm but far small
