spoke tightening

You can get a cheap spoke tool for £2 or a good one (park)
for £5. Well worth it for a unicyclist. Spoke nipple are
fairly soft and are easy to damage with the wrong tool (eg
pliers). A small adjustable panner might just work but you'd
be a lott better of getting the right tool

There are a few different sizes so take your uni along
to the shop.

Is there a way to tighten spokes without a spoke tightening
tool? (there's a tonguetwister for you)

It's a mindtwister as well. In a way, every tool you use to
tighten spokes is a spoke tightening tool by definition. The
only way one could say 'yes' to your question is to use bare
hands. It would be stretching to call those a tool.

I have a feeling you might need two points of contact with
the ground for such a thing to work? Or at least training
wheels on the front and rear. - John Foss commenting on a
