    Buyiong a few new things for my bike as I got abit of money to do it, so have a few questions regarding what I'm buying.

    First off:

    Stupid question really, http://www.cycleways.com/store/product/26436/Crank-Bros-Speedlever/

    Is this essentially a tire level that will allow me to more easily put on/take off the tire onto the wheel after fixing an puncture?

    I'm sure I'll post more questions

    Yes and for that price it would want to fix the puncture for you too.
    A set of levers can be got for peanuts.

    I used my fork ends for dinner to do that when I was younger but it damaged the rim badly :D . Tyre levers are the way to go!

    I was using handles of spoons last week but decided I was sick of washing them after so I'd get myself some levers :)

    Tyre irons are actually cheaper than most spoons and get the job done without bending (of course this will depend on your spoon, but I have a fair collection of bent spoons from years ago.)

    Another quick questions, looking to replace my tyres with armadillos or eqiv,
    My current tyres are 700x35
    is their much of a difference between 700x35 and 700x32 ?

    I'm finding it strange that it appears the hjigher the number eg: 35 the thinner the tyre..is this correct?
    Can someone explain it to me please?

    abit new at replacing tyres :)

    32 is narrower! I think it's tyre width in mm - i could be wrong, but it looks about right.
