Talk to me about latex vs butyl and ride quality. I made it sound like I want to try it just because, but really I want to try it to see if the hype is real. So I want to get the best riding tire I can afford. I'm led to believe latex tubes give a better ride in both clinchers and tubulars. The daily pumping might just get me loosened up enough to proceed with a much needed stretching routine.
