I'm curious why an IGH with single ring and single cog is more antithetical to the Quickbeam idea than multiple rings and multiple cogs.
My 1999 Joe Starck gofast fixed gear 26" wheel road bike has several wheelsets, of which 2 are (1) the "main" wheelset: Phil QR fixed/fixed hub with 17/19t Dingle on 1 side, 76" and 68"; and (2) Sa TC hub with 17 t cog and direct + 86.54% underdrive, 76" and 66." The 2 wheels give a very similar spread and I've thought of using the TC wheel for another bike. But then I go out for a ride on a very windy day and the ability to gear down with the flick of a lever makes me say, "No, I'll keep this wheel" -- this despite the fact that it's very easy to shift from 76" to 68" on the Phil wheel thanks to the Dingle and the QR.
