It's a good potential solution for tubulars, maybe for tubeless, and going to really marginal for clinchers. Also, maybe useful for hub motor ebikes, where removing the wheel is a pain.

The problem is that you have to get the needle inside a flat innertube without punching through the opposite side, or having the tube pull away. With a clincher it's going to work like 30% of the time.
