My only experience with Schwalbe tubes is with their 650B tube.  It's
also marked as fitting these sizes:

47-559 (26x1.75)
47-571
37-584
44-584
32-590
37-590
44-590
32-597

It fits a 38x650B Col de la Vie very well, and had none of that "floppy 
too-big-to-fit 
feeling that" makes you want to use undersized tubes.  They also had a 
phenomenal ability to
hold air without leaking at all.  In many ways, they were the best tubes I've 
ever used - and certainly
the only ones I've ever purchased that came with an instruction manual.  Better 
documentation, in
fact, than you get with a new computer these days!
