Years ago I thought I had brake drag on the rear of my Wee, I spent hours looking for a solution only to come to the conclusion that there was no problem.
Ride the bike, use the brakes and get everything hot, stop, put the bike on the stand and spin the wheel.
You will get some drag on the wheel from the chain and the brakes as the pads will always be in contact with the disc.
Ensure the disc runs true
If you think that drag is excessive from the brakes crack the bleed nipple to see if there is any pressure.
if you have pressure you have a problem, if there is no pressure you are unlikely to have a problem
