Might get that for the home (Is it the Simson tyre mate). Luckily I have a PDW 3Wrencho in my commuter bag for my Pompetamine rear axle, the lever on which was my saviour, but I don't necessarily want to be carrying that on the road bike, both for the weight and because I will forget to swap it between bikes.
Is the VAR lever any good for a similar (to the tyre mate) saddle bag option? Possibly coupled with one of these or these (a cheaper option?) if the VAR lever is no good.
While I am at it, any recommendations for patch kits, the puncture I got changing tyres is the first I have had in many years.
