Hi, have you used a torque wrench on the triple clamp pinch bolts ? they can nip the tubes if too tight. Also slacken off the mudguard and front axle, then pull the front brake on and bounce the forks up and down a couple of times. this will then settle them in so they are not binding. finally tighten axle and mudguard.
Good luck,
