[ST] Rear brakes overheating

[tri99sprint@xxxxxxxxx]

I too, have noticed my rear brakes becoming extremely 
hot after a ride. I do NOT use them excessively or ride 
with my foot on the pedal. The caliper gets so hot you 
cannot touch it, and as it cools off it makes 
a "thunking" noise, like metal contracting as it cools.
I will check the disc for warping as soon as I can 
borrow a dial indicator, and will post the findings. I 
have removed the caliper and cleaned the pistons, they 
seem to extend and retract freely, so I'm reasonably 
sure that is not my problem.
Any other thoughts are greatly appreciated.
