    Where is it rubbing?  Top of fender, back etc?  Same spot on both sides?  Everything done up tight - fender and tyre?  Has your arse gotten fatter?  No new tyre recently?
    If you lift the bike off the ground what can you move side to side back there?

    check your tyre for bulging. could be the steel belting compromised internally. how old is the tyre?
    also check that the inner plastic guard has not dislodged?
