Got a question about the first picture in this bunch of pictures, please?
That wheel, Boy in Apron. Truing it, yes? You have something in your hand --what is it, please? Is it something that would be helpful for DH? He gets to work on his wheel fairly frequently, since he breaks spokes every now and again. (one day, he annoyed himself greatly: kicked the wheel inadvertently unclipping, took out several!) He's getting pretty good at truing, but maybe there are some tools that he doesn't have yet that would make it easier?
Kano -- (always looking for gift ideas, since he's really hard to buy for!)
I think you might be referring to a spoke wrench. They can be purchased individually or as a set. If all your bikes have the same size spokes, you'll only need just the one. Just make sure to get the right size though.

BIAK seems to prefer the ones shaped like this:

I hope that answers your question,
