Interesting idea to keep the weight down and could prove interesting for our one forum member that seems to have well and truly pi$$ed of the PF :-D
I wonder if Wiggle do carbon puncture repair kits ;-)

I appreciate that they went to the trouble to design a website. Even if it is a crap one!

With an entire frame pressurised to 300PSI, that's quite a reservoir of compressed air. At a guess you could use it to reinflate a tyre at the loss of just a few tens of PSI. So the weight saving is even greater as you don't have to carry a pump :-)Pannier, 120rpm.0

You could also open a rear vent and use it as jet propulsion for that final sprint to the line....Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX

A prang with a WVM could be, err, somewhat explosive. A tyre at less than half that pressure goes off with quite a bang.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)
