Need Some (Avid) Juicy Love

I recently got a used VP Free with Avid Juicy Brakes. When I got the bike they worked great, but recently they have devloped a problem. When they get hot, they work like new. However when I get back on the bike after a few days of not riding, they have almost no power and they make a horrid squealing noise. This goes away after a half hour of riding or so, but it is annoying as hell. I have had them bled and had the pads and rotors sanded. This stopped the squeaking for a day but both problems have come back and seem to be getting worse. I still have alot of material on the pads, so i have no idea whats going on. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

are the pads alligned correctly.cause that might cause them to do this. and sanding would have fixed that for a day or so but if they were all wacked up then it would go right back to the devil noise. also check the caliper and make sure that it is in good condition, cause if the pistons are messed up that might cause the problem. also if there is dirt or anything down inside the caliper where the fluid is that might also cause something to go wrong i dont know if that would cause the squeaking but that was a thought since you bought them used.
