sag

This site (http://homepage3.nifty.com/tongermark/bhv2k/bhv2ha.htm) [in あいうえお順 so scroll down quite close to the bottom of the page] gives:

sag, settling, permanent set in fatigue, loss of resilience; spring sag
for へたり,沈下,沈降; ばねのへたり

If 'sag' doesn't seem to fit the context for the clip, how about 'poor recoil,' 'poor rebound' or 'loss of (or poor) resilience.'

Web definitions of 'sag' :
# droop, sink, or settle from or as if from pressure or loss of tautness

# Sag is the degree to which a shock absorber compresses with the rider sitting motionless on the bike in a normal riding position. Usually, this should be between 15% and 25% of available travel for cross country riding and slightly more for downhill riding. Sag allows the suspension system to extend when it comes to a dip in the trail. If it had no sag and did not extend, the wheel would not follow the dip, which results in decreased traction, especially on bends. ...
