This is often the reason why they tend to run very hot while climbing – but cool down rather quickly when not under load.

What are the symptoms of overheated brakes?

Another symptom of overheated brakes that I came across is when you feel a jerk up your leg when you push on the brake pedal. This happens when you are going at a high speed and hit the brakes hard. That pulsating effect is an indication of hot brakes.

Why are the callipers on my rear brake so hot?

I have seen a lot of people using regular grease as a lubricant for their callipers. This is one of the biggest reasons why rear brakes get hot. The problem with regular grease is that it expands with an increase in temperature creating a seal-like texture that keeps the callipers from moving and drags the outer pads.
