No flip flop disc hubs yet, thank God. Why go with a flip flop anyways? With the Dos ENO freewheel, or a cassette hub with two cogs, you can run discs and have a choice of non-shifting gears. That's assuming you even want/need to change gearings mid-ride.
At least around here and back home I cannot think of a single gear that would work well for both road and trail. Remember, all my statements where made under the assumption he is going to be switching at least twice mid-ride.
2min is alot longer then the 15s it takes with track ends and a qr(we can assume that his allen key is easily accesible on a ride). If he's just changing it at home then I agree it's not a big deal.
How many people really need a rear disk anway especially on a weight weenie bike?
