It doesn't take much on these bikes for a little extra rolling resistance to feel like less "power" when on the road.

Seems like the rear brake disc is bent. i can clearly sense the increased resistance
once per rotation of the rear wheel. Rear brake is "sticking" somewhat in general, it seems. Definately part of the picture here..

Found some cheap chinese discs on ebay. Don't know if it's a good idea to buy one, or if I should stick to original parts. Will check the price at the local dealership before I decide.
