FYI-Secretly late this summer Schwable quit manufacturing tubulars with latex tubs in them. They are now using a cheaper Butyl tube. There goes your perceived comfort and lower rolling resistance.

Probably got a lot of returns because people think they are defective.
"I pumped up a brand new tire, and it doesn't hold air, was soft 12hrs later!"

Yep I was disappointed to find this out when I got my One tubs.

I don't really care for Schwalbe anyway. I've got two sets of wheels with Ultremo HT and they are just... meh okay. Not at all like a nice set of Veloflex. They ride more like Conti's which have butyl tunes. On the plus side you won't have to pump up so much so they make a better training tire.
