/me concurs!
I have a 53x12 setup and top out at just above 120 cadence. It really is interesting to be going 70kph, passing mopeds!
When I'm drafting behind these random cars, vans, and box trucks, I stay right at the edge of being in the slip stream. If the vehicle ahead does something dodgy, I have an escape route or at least a bit more distance to brake.
Getting dropped out of the slipstream is really a drag! Easily lose 20kph+ of speed.
