Hi

Rubbing brakes (slightly) when pedalling out of the saddle?. Any thoughts please?.

    Depends on the strength / weight of rider, strength /flex of wheels and how rigid / flexible the frame is.

    Has this suddenly started happening or always happened ?

    Check the wheels over and also how tight the QR is. If everything seems OK maybe you just have the brake pads set too close to the rim or one is a lot closer than the other. Also are your wheels true and are the hubs a bit loose causing the wheel to rock a bit when more power is applied.
