This thing with staying upright on tubs but hitting the deck on clinchers is, IMO, a load of balls.
I’d say that at the Glasgow ‘drome, on our public sessions there’s been no noticeable trend for which type of tyre stays upright and which doesn’t.
What we have seen though is a massive trend for which type of tyre punctures in the first place and it is undoubtedly tubs that puncture more often.
TLDR: I’d always recommend a beginner use clinchers.
