Unless racing, just get decent butyl tubes (Vittoria ultralight). Latex sound fab, but only when fitted with superlight tyres. Otherwise, don't bother. Latex generally can't be repaired either. 30 years experience of using Latex tubes. CBA now.

I’ve repaired latex with standard repair kit. I’ve got Conti gp 5000 on every bike.
Would you put these in 25 or 28 tires though as rated for 23 which is so old hat.
