No, you pervs, the type that are on cars [:D]
Had a problem yesterday ( caliper retaining pin came out [:0] ), and found the wheel bolts on both sides were too warm to handle for more than a few seconds, and the hubs themselves were <b><i>very</i></b> warm.
No noises on cornering, or rough suspension at the front, but they've got me thinking now !
Any thoughts ?
Hot Hubs !

If the pin came out alltogether the caliper would swing up slightly from the anti rattle spring pressure, and pull from the brake cable, this might prevent the entire piston face bearing down on the pad, resulting with it binding in its bore and failing to withdraw after application of the brakes.
Have known a similar thing happen to a bloke that changed his discs and pads, he refitted the pads without reference to the anti rotation notch on the pad, the piston was not position correctly and it pressed directly down on the protruding notch, severe binding and very smelly hot brakes after a few miles were the result.
