Are both pads dragging, or only one? Are the pads striking the disc square?

If the pads are dragging too much they get the disc so hit the heat then starts causing the problem to get worse. After a mile or so it's almost full braking. (Happened on my SY years ago. On that occasion it was a clear case of seals.
Also once found the caliper carrier bent on my SK5. That was similar result.
