I as just riding hills today with clinchers, for ease of repair actually, but I think they are
_less_ safe than tubulars on downhills.
This is because if I get a slow leak on a clincher, the tire may go flat and suddenly I am rolling
on a rim around a corner, and fall down go boom.
The risk for a tubular is rolling, but if you glue it even halfway decent and don't max out around
corners in 100 degree heat, the risk of rolling seems very very low, you get the safety
improvement that even if you flat, the tire will probably stay on the rim, allowing you to stop
and start cursing.
