Went riding last weekend and noticed resistance? It felt like I had to give it more throttle to get to the speed I use to get to. And went I let off it felt like the sled was really slowing down a lot quicker. Where to start? And what to check? Also I just put on new hyfax before that ride.. but still don't think hyfax could be making that much resistance. :o|
 

Emergency brake? You'd smell your slides if they were sticking that much generally. But you should still break them in when new.

Track adjusted properly after replacing them?
 
nope I did check that once I felt it cause I read before someone leaving that on lol
 
How tight is your track? I had that issue 2 seasons ago, track was way too tight

X2 I run it and make half turn adjustments until it stops racheting.
 
Definitely check your track tension. First time I changed sliders years ago I had a similar experience. Had the track to tight.
 
My tracks def loose because I have extroverts so I run it a lot looser than normal. But with all the feedback im thinking it was just the sliders breaking in....? Because they had not one mile on them since changed. I readjusted my chain case chain by finger tightening to snug the 1/4 turn back out.
