    Do you mean a tyre lever, when you say spanner? Most kits don't include a spanner.

    I don't think any of those places you mentioned would do a puncture kit to be honest.

    no i mean a spanner ,that,ll remove a front wheel, the tesco kit has 2 tyre levers, and a grinder, no idea what a grinder is that could be used in a puncture kit. a spanner or wrench for wheel removal

    You'll be hard pressed to find a spanner in a kit. Some of the bike parking garages have toolkits, but not sure if the one close to D1 has, or when it closes.

    It's at the one on Marlborough St. as far as I know.

    The grinder is probably the part to rough up the tube before you apply the glue.

    Grinder equals sandpaper, OK, I thought spar might have bike repair kits, I'll buy one with a wrench at 9am im sure dealz have them or poundland parnell st. I had a plastic wrench it broke when I tried to use it to open a wheel, I'll buy wd40 at the same time
