Stumpy 15mm combination ring spanners from repco are the shizzle as most are too long to be conveniently carried. ---

> [@The\_JAMS](#): > > can i get these ParkTools glueless patches from a LBS in Melb? I got mine [HERE](http://http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Park-Tools-Puncture-Super-Patch-Kit-x-3-RRP-8-97-/350442352396?pt=UK_Spots_Leisure_Cycling_Tools_RepairKits&hash=item5197fdef0c#ht_738wt_947). Much cheaper when you buy a few at a time. Works out to be less than $1 a patch. ---
