Hi,

I have heard that Scwalbe have changed the inner tube in the One tubular frome latex to butyl. Does anybody know if there still is a shop in Europe with the latex version in stock in 24mm?

Thanks

Can't really help you I'm afraid, but does anyone know how to tell the difference? I recently received a pair of 26mm ones from Ribble (UK online outfit). The tires and packaging are indistinguishable and you might expect them to come from an identical delivery but one of them exhibits much faster pressure loss than the other.

If it is losing pressure overnight, and doesn't have a puncture, it's latex.

My experience with latex tubes is that the overnight leak rate can vary tremendously from tube to tube.

It certainly does, and there is no set rate of air loss. But if it is losing air, say roughly in the neighborhood of 10-20psi, chances are it is latex.
