HELP! having problems with 07 juicy sevens

Posts: 5
baisicaly my juicy 7s are rubing lots when im riding, BUT when the bike is in the stand the brakes dont rub at all! and there is equal space between both pads and the disk, also the rubbing only happens at a certain speed generaly between about 12 and 15 mph, which is my normal flat and uphill speed so is very anoying! have tried setting the brakes up dozens of times with slightly different spacing, contacted avid and they just said to check the torque on all the bolts and it may possibly need a re-bleed as the pistons may not be retracting enough, tried all of that and there is plenty of clearance between the pads. if i dont get it sorted soon im going to have to get some different brakes, its just not worth the hasstle and its ruining the fun of riding!
Any help would be greatly apreciated
cheers

Is it a new bike or just new brakes?
IIRC the hub could have bedded in, so now it could be a bit out of place, and with the added weight of your body on it as well.

My 5s do this a bit aswell. Do yours make an metallicky jangling noise as you're riding? If it's any consolation I think this will probably subside as the pads and rotors bed in. Also check the little metal springy thing that keeps the pads apart, could try expanding it a little bit to pull the pads slightly further apart, although be gentle with it, you don't want to prematurely fatigue it as that will make it worse.
