I only found out 'cos I was chasing my mate on his 60's Velocette Venom and caught him at a roundabout and had to lift iut of the turn because the footrests grounded.
As an aside before i started riding the Beam I had thought that a rigid girder forked bike would be a hand full riding at any reasonable speed, DOH idiot.
I have no worries with my 9A on bends and the only time i have moved the rear wheel out was in the wet and using the rear brake a bit harder than I should  , but at around 50-55mph it is a beautiful bend swinger..John

I fitted mitas universal tyres for the same reason as Greybeard, but i can scrape the footrests unless they are rotated up for clearance ..John

I've put Ensigns on all my pre 1955 machines, including the 'Beam, simply because they look right  I've got no complaints as far as handling goes with any of them. Others may prefer a more modern, sporty tyre, but I've got no intention of scraping the footrests of any of the 'old folk' 
The do have an ebay shop and often do good deals when buying more than one tyre.

Hi all! I want to buy two new tires for my Model 9. What is a good choice? Any suggestion? Cheers, Thomas
