Wouldn't it be easier to simply grind your way up and spin your way down on those other 4 rides rather than go to all this trouble for like you said 4 rides a year?
thats also a very likely solution. im not fully decided yet - if im realistic there is great chance that switching chains is too big of a hurdle. possibly i wont ever put on the gears. Actually i also just sold the 1x10 drivetrain spares i had for my ssp karate monkey. Pushing my bike is way more enjoyable for me than swapping dirty bike parts before a ride.
swaying more towards the IGH solution right now, as i would be totally fine with the gearing resulting with my usual gear as direct drive. so no chain swap needed. i also like the shifter mounting shown by @Chaley
really appreciate the input. main motivation are group rides by the way. for solo riding i can live with nearly everything, but for some routes i know that i'm too far off the rhythm of the geared riders that i'm not able enjoy the group aspect.
