With disc brakes the wheels will never spin 'freely'....they always drag a little.With the old drum brakes (many years ago) the brake shoes would withdraw completely from touching the brake drum and the wheels truly spun freely. But since the advent of disc brakes I have never seen a wheel spin freely again. The disc pads are always in slight contact with the rotors and a certain amount of drag is inevitable.
