First and foremost BLEED YOUR DAMN BRAKES. You wouldn't believe how much air I've pushed out of Juicies that are supposedly prebled. Their factory bleeds suck. You need to do this anyway. Of the possible problems this is the cheapest of the solutions and something you should do anyway. If that doesn't work then report back.

Your brakes did not overheat for god's sake. I have ridden numerous 4000ft plus descents with Juicys.

+1 Great advice, he should really try that. Too bad he's convinced that his brakes have overheated and won't listen to anything else

Oh yeah, I forgot about the overheat indicator. You should definitely check that before you jump to conclusions
