Rudder Pedal Pressure Before and After Gear Retraction

Hello All. Would like some feedback please. I might be imagining things but I had my mechanic swing my gear a few weeks back and I notice a difference in rudder pedal pressure in flight before and a after gear retraction. While on the ground taxing, and when in flight before the gear is retracted, the rudder pedals feel typical (they don't require much pressure when I depress the left or right rudder pedals. After gear retraction, I notice that the rudder pedals feel much firmer. I am suspecting that this is a result of a more compressed steering bungee after the nose gear is folded up and put away. Can anyone else share with me what their rudder pedals feel like before and after gear retraction. On my bird, everything works just fine but I am wondering if you all experience a difference in rudder pedal pressure before the gear is retracted and after the gear is retracted.

Thank you so much.

Chris
