When you mounted them, did you squeeze the lever a few times and hold it down before you tightened the caliper down? If you do not do this they will rub.

Were they new, and are you using stock rotors?

Are the pads new? You can try holding the brake down and riding hard w/ the brake on to conform the pads w/ the rotors.

This is right, On my Formula K24 ORO's I finally thought about squeezing the brake lever BEFORE you tighten the brake caliper and it works great. Hope it works for you.
