Ramsaye
@Fox
Thanks all. Turned out Velo Vitality's website said they only had one but actually they had a pair. As they're the only stockist that was the last pair in the UK, so it's always worth calling.
FWIW @Ramsaye I looked at the g-ones but they are very heavy, seem more like a tyre you'd only use for gravel whereas what I'm after is mostly tarmac with light off road/gravel etc. chucked in. And not too heavy. Moot point anyway as you don't really seem to be able to get hold of them either, Schwalbe seem to be doing their usual trick of launching new tyres then selling out of the tiny volume they've produced almost immediately.
If anyone does want to follow @dancing james and get the Schwalbe S-one's my LBS use Raleigh as their distributor for Schwalbe and were told July, ISON are showing 30/6 so you will have to wait a bit as everyone else has sold out. Do NOT do what I nearly did and accidentally get your LBS to order the hand made tub version at £79 a pop!
I will report back on the Bon Jovis. As it's my first venture into tubeless I am slightly relieved that my LBS are building the bike up so will have the task of fitting them!
