  • On the subject of latex tubes - I recently switched tyres from 28mm Conti Gator Hardshells to 35mm Schwalbe Marathon Supremes with the aim of improved comfort. I'm finding the Supremes disappointingly dead feeling so far. Would using latex tubes give any improvement in suppleness, or would it be unnoticeable under all that touring rubber?

    I'm not even sure whether the whole thing isn't just all in my head to be honest.

    If you're used to the notion that road buzz = fast, then you're in for a real disappointment.

    FWIW it took me a good year to get rid of that conventional wisdom when I switched to lightweight 32mm.

  • Latex tubes in Marathons would be a waste of time.
