Thanks, Jim. I like that approach.

I did the quick release clips thing like Jay.

I have removed the rear wheel (most recently to add a fixed cog) by
unclipping the fender stays from the quick release clips. When the
chain is in the small chainring, the axle is at the
well, I'm going to go against convention here and recommend
taking the fenders off. I managed to figure out how to drop the
rear wheel to fix a flat, but I'm sticking with a fenderless QB.
it was a liberating experience, and I'm thinking of removing the
fenders from my atlantis now.

The key is to leave enough room on the rear stays to be able to loosen
the fender and slide it back. This works best with plastic or wood
fenders. Others will have to chime in on metal fenders, as I've seen
a few alum steel clad Quickbeams out in the wild. I have plastic
wood for the QB:
If you're using Phil hubs, you should be able to remove the axle nuts
all the way, in which case the wheel will drop straight down. Not
sure about the stock hubs.

Round up another pair of the black plastic quick release clips that
came with the SKS fender set (the ones intended for use on the front
fender stays). They'll allow you to pop the rear stays out and remove
the wheel. RBW probably has them, but you could try your LBS
first.
hope this helps,
Jay: I like that idea. Have you actually tried it? I'm wondering if
you can pull the fender up and back enough to release the wheel, given
that the fender is attached to the seat stay bridge.
