I get my ass on the bike and then the front brake rubs slightly eventhough I am not touching the brake lever and it rubs more so on turns. I have tried the re-alignment twice with little improvement.

Also, the brake levers feel squeshy. I did RTFB thoroughly. The instructions say that eventually some braking noise will go away and the brakes may tighten up. Do I need to bleed them or wait?

Please help!!!
If they are rubbing on turns then usually that means the hub is either loose or needs a rebuild. Since they are new I'll go with loose. Also using a torque wrench on the mounting bolts of the discs helps
