But seriously, is it rubbing on the brake bridge or the brake calipers? If only on the caliper, you could possibly space it out a little further from the bridge and see if it has enough clearance then.
Sorry, yes I did mean rear brake bridge. The only solution I can think of is to put some sort of spacer where the wheel is attached to the frame (see picture - btw not my bike).
I really love my bike but I've been thinking buying a new one for a while. The only issue is that money is quite tight at the moment. A temporary solution would be very great.

For example, pump your tyres to 90psi at 68 deg F then go outside and ride around in 104 deg F weather and the heat will increase the pressure to 97psi

That I know, this is why I made it clear that the pressure was kept between 80-90 psi. The pressure does NOT vary since I inflate the tire at a given (supposed constant) temperature (outside).
My bet is that the rubber and/or the wires are dilating which increase the volume of the chamber.
