my road bike gained weight on the back tire????
bike purchased 2-3 months ago, i've ridden it mon-fri since
lifting the bike now it feels heavier
i could either be weaker or imagining it but while riding it I also notice the back portion of the bike does feel weighted down.
I'm not sure whats causing that, could enough dirt accumulated at the back areas of the bike to weigh it down that much?

You are getting weaker/imagining.

You could be over training.
If your rear feels heavier when riding it is likely a tire pressure issue or break touching your rim but it would not explain why it feels heavier when lifting.

Weep holes clogged or painted over? A friends carbon road bike had a suprising amount of water in it considering there was no swooshing sound.
