If you go for a ride and use no bake brake at all does it get warm? If you get the rear wheel in the air and turn it can you feel it dragging?

Thanks Jambo!
I only used the brake fluid as that's what I had at hand with me, I don't have any RRG, just used it to see if it fixes anything. I'm using the back brake a lot to bed in the pads. I won't use the back brake and see if it gets hot. I ain't got a paddock stand I'm afraid so have no idea how I could get the back end up in the air unfortuantly
