Noticed a slight wobble on my rear wheel last night, and after checking found that the flanges that seat the spokes on the hub had worn rather badly. As it touched them, another crumbled. I now have 4 or 5 unseated spokes. Looks like a new hub will be required. Front hub is fine. Bike is only 5 months old. (Kona Kula Deluxe)

Anyone seen this problem before?

    sounds like you have been running with lose spokes.

    last one I heard of fail was a few years ago.

    anyway back to the shop with it.

    Cheers Nick. Certainly not noticed they were lose, but a possibility. was surprised the way some of the flanges just fell apart.
