just HTFU?
Paddington to Downs is only 7 miles...
Same as my journey every week from Bethnal Green to Peckham, or not much futher than Downs -> Newington
For me, the reason I would never consider a hub gear is that it's so much heavier, and you are compromising your on-court game for off-court comfort. it would be like fitting panniers to a TT bike...
I guess the only on-court advantage is that you have the right gear for different courts...
