The bead breaker looks good, although I never needed one - just used
the hi-lift foot directly on the tyre.  It might have made the job a
little easier.

You need inner tubes - don't spend time looking for the hole while the
wheel's off, change out the tube and fix the puncture at your
convenience.  Tyre lube(wa****ng-up liquid), puncture kit and french
chalk.  Oh, and an effective hand cleanser to clean the black off your
hands afterwards ;o)
