why would there be a range loss and how much?

@Vapourick The range loss from larger rims comes from the fact that the lower profile tires that get mounted on these tend to be softer compounds. That provides more traction, but at the cost of higher rolling resistance (lower efficiency). If you mounted the same model tire (same compound, same width, same outside diameter) on two different sized rims, you would be hard pressed to measure a difference in efficiency.
