Is this typical of older spoked wheels?

(1/1)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Today I cut the spokes out of the old wheels with my mates  angle grinder - point of no return - I will now  need to have them rebuilt in the colour of my choice - not Nut Brown not available - might treat myself to Gold Anodised Alloys - undecided atm. I have plenty of time to save up and keep CWC in business.  ;D ;D ;D

The front hub was pretty much as it should be - the rear hub had a number of spoke rub marks on both sides of the hub.
What causes this to happen?

Oddjob:
All of them have it Ted

Johnny4428:
I would imagine that if you seen a slow motion close up of the rear wheel on hard cornering there would be a fair bit of flexing! Also powering out of corners etc.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Never thought of spoke flexing being the culprit.
