Depends. If you hardly get flats or like changing flats than no it's not
worth it.
If you ride in areas that are flat prone areas or use thru-axles front and
back then it's worth it.

Never tryed Stans. I use the ghetto method.

Ghetto method should work.

The Ghetto method lose air about a pound a day. Not a problem for riding.

Not sure if they mean to pop the bead or fix a flat. I wouldn't use it to
pop the bead. You could waste a lot of CO2 if you fail to inflate. I have
used it to reinflate when I discovered a slow leak on the trail.

May not be worth it if hardly flat. It is a fun experiment if you're the
mad scientist type.
