But it has to be really bad. Bearings become noisy long before they become big heat producers. Then again, most people ignore the subtle noises from
back there, over the last 20k, until it's annoyingly loud. --so this may be a good solution for many.
I know on my SC that it had a tick with each rev - but I could hear it only on new blacktop. Turned out to be a 2mm long 'scratch' in one of the two bearing races. --yeah, that's not going to make measurable heat, even tho' it was a failed bearing.
