On my one extended TX ride with the RS and a couple of longer rides in TX with the GSA bikes I have noticed increased rear tire wear. Also you might accelerate away from a stop or slower speed than I do. You have rode behind me and I believe you found I'm not a big pour the throttle to it when increasing speeds.
I think you may be right on the latter aspects. Most of my riding is not on chip seal surfaces, since most is commuting in Houston, but riding on that horrible surface does make a huge difference especially if riding hard.
