What about the laser-guided gadget for wheel alignment?
Or a tennis ball, both work fine.

No point taking half measures:
i) Go fixed
ii) Remove brakes
iii) Cut down risers until there's just enough grip left to wrap your index fingers around
iv) Clips/straps/clipless are for nodders - use platforms, but cut them down to the width of your big toe
v) Wear massive headphones, but beef them up by wearing earplugs as well
vi) Never take your eyes off your phone whilst riding (the bars are just for show)
vii) Any chainring smaller than 50t, or any sprocket bigger than 15t is baby stuff
viii) Never ride in a straight line for more than 20m
ix) Never give way to anyone
x) Make sure your reach from saddle to bars is less than the width of your handspan.You left out the open shirt hanging out of pants over a t-shirt look, uneven haircut and skidding at every opportunity.

He'll need a left nut removing spanner, a right nut removing spanner, and the appropriate spanner holders.
He'll then need a wheel transposer (and holder, brace, and, is he's playing safe, belt).
He might avoid having to use a chain retensioner or track end measurer, but he will need left and right wheel nut replacer spanners, and replacer spanner lube gun, and holders.
Then he'll need a wheel alignment jig, and ChainDeSlackerâ„¢, and a wheel spin rotator.
I make that 18 tools. Not a couple.
Plus any parts?

You'll need a chain to wheel drive interface and a sprocket untightening inhibitor.

I'm a courier and have always rode brakeless, only had one accident that even if I had brakes or not, wouldn't have stopped it.

xii) Don't be afraid to get off and push, or even jump in a black cab. -

I went brakeless straight away, rode well within my limits though.
