    kibokojoe, re the binding caliper, I doubt the grease is the culprit*, IMHO it isn't used because the grease only attracts dirt which will cause abrasion, even allow larger things to stick potentially (?)

    * unless you hit some sand/fine debris which somehow got lodged in a piston caliper and caused it to bind. Never seen this happen.
