I had my first decent longish ride on the new latex tubes this morning. It's these ones (top set):
I bought them from Sigma Sports:

A definite improvement in ride quality - smoother, more refined. I'm going to get a couple more. The only downside is that you'll have to pump up your tyres every ride as latex tubes leak air. These work great with the 38mm Hutchinson Overide tyres on the EX-Gravel.
And with the lower sun late in the year, I found my new Oakley Field Jacket Clear glasses helped during the ride when I was facing the sun as the photochromic lenses adapted quite nicely. The added bonus of eye protection meant that I enjoyed the ride more.
