While practicing at mammoth I heard my tire rub what I thought was my seat but it was actually the left side of my swingarm. I inspected the bolts and wheel to make sure everything was good and I'm wondering could a wheel flex this much?
How much do wheels flex?

come on people...
what kind of hub/axel/tire/pressure/rim makes a difference im sure
you can always just perform the scientific approach of pushing with one hand on your seat and pulling with your other on the tire. HUMPH

My DH9 did that once...
I figured the wheel was just out of true.
I was 5 min away from hitting a HUGE gap when I noticed that one of the linkage bolts had fallen out. If I had hit that gap with a bolt missing it would have been bad news.
Check your bolts again.
(and I reckon if a wheel flexed that much it would STAY flexed, ie bent. Also it probably wouldn't flex all the way up there)

Bullcrap. $5 says a linkage bolt fell out. If you are riding on a wheel THAT loose you feel it instantly and know something's wrong.bcd said:
Wanna fight about it?
From the pic it looks like the scracth is ahead of the wheel .You may have kicked something up ( a clump of dirt /rock /pumice) .I have a Yeti and have never had that happen .Just my .02
The wheel moves up there as the bike progresses through its travel. Take off the shock and see for yourself. With larger tires, the wheel will buzz on the front most part of that top link piece when you land a big drop.E.C. said:
You are 100% correct ! My bad .I wish I could say I was just testing you ,But I just wan't thinking.I should be asleep. Can I have my .02 back 
probably want to sell it and buy a Turner....
