  1. Hi,
    Anyone know of a tool with a 15mm spanner at one end and a tyre
    lever at the other? Like the Surly Jethro-Tule but a tyre lever instead
    of the bottle opener (maybe it can be modified?).

    A half-decent adjustable end would work instead, though it wouldn't be
    as elegant. Again, may it's possible to make a tyre lever out of the
    wrong end of a Bahco... or a 15mm combination spanner...?

    I'm thinking this is a minimal toolkit for a fixie with a Q/R front
    wheel...

    Cheers,
    W.

    I got one of them!
    It's ver' ver' old tho'.
    It was probably made when fixies were popular [}🙂]

    Anyway, it's staying in my odds & ends tool draw...

    .... I'm running sprint rims on my fixie!

    Just cut a ring spanner to length and grind/forge the end into a tyre
    lever sort of shape - you'd probably want some sort of padding for the
    handle to make it usable, but I guess gloves would do the job.
