As I'm getting my bike all race ready, I notice that when I spin the cranks backwards with chain, it does not spin much more than 1-2 rotations.
Also it definitely does not do the cool Ceramic Speed ghost pedaling.

Question: is this something I should worry about? Or is the no load free spin nothing compared to actual race wattage friction?
