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.
