Are you keeping it inflated well, near or at it's maximum rated
pressure? Do you weigh a lot?
Sounds like what would happen to a terribly underinflated tire if
you rode on it for too long and were lucky enough not to have to
replace the tube daily.
Maybe terribly beat up bearings would allow the wheel to rub the
frame when weight is on it, but not when you spin it by hand. Try
looking down while you ride.
