ive a few ideas but not too sure if it will help. none the less, it might be the degreaser, if it got in the bearings it will ruin the grease and u will get lots of friction which is bad. it also may be the pressure on the spinning system due to excess pressure on the quick release. they arent meant to be that tight , just so u know. or the third option is uve a minor buckle and the tire is rubbing of one of the chain stays up by the front derailleur area. check these out. take the wheel off and spin it see if there is any friction, if there is its the bearings that are the issue. best of luck
