I ride tubulars and once when riding in the mountains during a hot spell, had a double creeping issue. The rear crept back from climbing, and the front crept forward from braking. Fortunately for me, the front issue was worse, and I could manage it by flipping the wheel every day or two, but the rear had to be remounted a few times until I was out of the hill country.
