My preferred tyre levers are the ones I got in a Supercycle "repair kit" - metal for a start, and they just work way better than the plastic trace ones I have (though I carry both sets in my wedge bag) - just gotta be mindful of the pinchy pinchy, but I've not had a prob.

Track wheelset n00b question (yay they got delivered today, w00t):

When fastening the sprocket onto the hub, if the clearance between the teeth and spokes even "looks" too close, does that generally mean I need spacers? How does that all work? Would a pic help? I don't have any tools to properly crank it on there with the lockring anyway, so I'm able to putz about with it still. I'm also going to consult Sheldon as I'm clueless.
