that the minimal lash on the TF is due to the bare simplicity of the gear

more complex design needed for a smaller drop. I mean to read further to
The TF and TC wheels will be occasional wheels, thus quick-on/quick-off
systems; at least for now.

So now you've got three rear wheels for this bike. Do you expect to be
