The CrossRip has two sets of brake levers. I was pretty "stern" with the LBS that the brakes be adjusted properly. On the third visit I finally got a mechanic who understood the problem. After adjusting the disc and rotor he adjusted the "chicken brakes" only and left the other levers where they were set. I don't know how he did this but this is what he said he did. No more brake drag.
