You're right about the rubbing. That usually comes back when I remove a wheel then have to re-adjust the calipers and pads because I can't seem to get the wheel back in precisely the same orientation, alignment, and QR pressure it was in when I adjusted the calipers and pads the last time. Front is way worse that the rear in that regard. It especially sucks when I get a flat then have to back the pads way out to keep it from rubbing for the rest of the ride. They also pretty much always rub when I get out of the saddle to climb unless I'm willing to tolerate a pretty big gap between the pads and the rotor, which I prefer not to have. The squeaking just comes out of nowhere, especially after riding in the rain for a while.
