Rear wheels getting warm

I recently changed all my discs and pads to Quinton Hazel. The brakes are now very keen so I'm pleased with them, but the rear wheels are getting warm. Anyone got any ideas?

I would say a bearing is on the way out, but as it's two wheels, maybe not.

your rear wheels will get warm to some extent because of the heat transfer during braking.....................how hot are they in comparison to the front wheels??

when you changed the discs/pads did you check that the calipers were "free" and sliding correctly??
