Your cog is slipping.
That's pretty sweet.

You that worried about flats that you need a C shaped inner tube? Might not be bad if you just use it as a spare – at least you wouldn’t need a wrench to get the wheel off. Still, I don’t think I’ll be buying one.

I use a repair kit when I get flats rather than carrying a spare tube, You can fix punctures without taking the wheel off using the same method. I guess to remove the old tube they have to cut it in half. I think I'd rather just patch and reuse.

Its clearly a bmx product. BMX ridign causes a lot of pinch flats, especially if you land short on a curb or stair, and with a lot of street riding pegs are on at least one side making wheels harder to get off.

not sure if you could apply something like that to a tubeless tire and just not get flats for the life of your tire. I'm not sure what kind of pressure limitations it has or how much weight it would add
