Assuming you're getting a new cassette to put on your turbo wheel, all you'll need is a cassette lockring tool and a spanner to turn it. Make sure you fit the cassette with a spacer behind it if required (depends on what cassette and what freehub you have)

If you need to take a cassette off you'll then need a chainwhip as well

I've used this: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/rear-700-whe ... 05016.html

only £35 (plus 10% discount if you are member of a cycling club). I also got a 5700 cassette at the same time. I had a couple of point vouchers, so all in it cost me £60. I already had a turbo tyre.

Where are you based?

5700 (105) will be fine.

My road wheels I run PG1070 on my HED, and have just swapped to a 1070 from a 6600 on my Kysriums
