Wondering where the collective wisdom of so many riders falls in regards to this: I've got two sets of wheels for my Atlantis- roadish and off-roadish. Both rear wheels have their own cassettes (12-36). Should they each have their own chain as well? Would it be better to just swap the

Drew, I faced the same dilemma a few years back. An Atlantis + Rich-Lesnick-built 36-spoke rear wheel (and child carrier) were easily rated for my 40-lb 5 y.o., (also w/ sensory issues) but I found the weight that high up (on top o' 700c wheel) made the stability unsafe. Really unsafe.
