For many years I was against the "new fangled" dyna beads because...my theory here...I thought they would produce some bad ju-ju that would make hard to make a tube patch stick. But, the fact is they sell us such junk tubes now days I dont patch anything anymore, just buy a new tube. The tubes I just took out of my 52 jeep, tires dated 1951, are about an1/8" thick, must weigh 10 pounds, and look like new. I went tubeless on that project, but those tubes will go in the next pair of 750 16 hot rod tires I buy with no worries from me. 70 years old, soft nice real rubber
