Default Why did my bike not easly go through a ton?

Yes, yes, riding to somewhere on the A413 i was finding my bike a tad sluggish and would not go much above a ton. I though that it was just because it was quite windy but i found out why when i arrived at my destination.

Try and guess what it was, only 1 thing caused the issue.

Parachute not folded away properly?
You have handguards that foul the brake lever under wind pressure?
