Wow, you got a ridiculously great price, I think I paid $80-90? The 650B's were rare, I got them straight from Schwalbe USA. The defect was that each of tires I got had a noticeable bulge at the area where the rubber was joined. So pronounced that you could see it and feel it when riding. Schwalbe was very easy to deal with on the return and credit. I'd buy from them again. I have a bunch of their tires. They told me that the high performance tires are more susceptible to manufacturing defects like that.
You are right they are great tires. I didn't have them on the bike long enough to get the pressure really dialed in perfectly. But I took enough rides to experience how fast they were. I kept remounting them over and over trying to eliminate the bump. I thought it was the tube or something I was doing wrong. Schwalbe doesn't make bad tires. But the 2 I got were defective.
