If you are going for weight nonsense, then yes, but then you could go to carbon wheels territory
(fine if you live in Singapore and want to show off, not fine if you are in Blighty, and want to use it a lot or brake...ask Hoke...)
2 or 3 speed, external, will be the optimum for carrying and hopefully you can select the 3 sprockets that give you enough range for general use. The Sturmey Hub is bullet-proof, but boy is it heavy and I find I only use 2 of the 3 gears anyway.

Hmmm got me thinking about switching my 6sp to a 2 or three now.

I understood the issue was lightweight polyurethane tubes + carbon wheels with rim brakes = overheating and popping tubes.

OK thanks for the info. @PhilDAS would single speed work for ultimate weight weenie?
