Avid hydraulics rubbing

Hi

I've just put my old juicies on my wife's bike which had avid bb5s on previously.

Possibly naively, I was expecting them to fit on without any problems. However, they're rubbing quite badly both front and back. They were running perfectly on my bike.

I've tried setting the calliper in various different positions without luck. The rotors look like they're the same.

Am I going to have to rebleed them?

    You will need to bed them in again. Also make sure you are not over tightening the blots.

    Ok, thanks. The best part of a bottle of wine will stop me doing that this evening, but I'll try that tomorrow.
