We reduced the pressure from 24 lbs. to 19 lbs last. I do not think this will put the matter right. We will however give it a trial. We have also removed the front spring clips and sheaths and found the springs were not being clamped properly. The sheaths were coming down on the axle in both cases. We have now cleaned them away and fitted them up properly. The Belgrave don't appear to be wearing well. The back tyres have the centre rib worn right away and on the front tyres the rib is half gone after 1000 miles.
