My previous bikes with internal hubs have had semi-horizontal drop outs, so getting the wheel out has been very easy. On my Swift Peter has set up the chain length so that the hub axle is all the way forward in the track end slot. Hence, even if I loosen the hub axle, there's no way to create slack on the chain for me to slip the chain off the cog. The only way I can see to get the rear wheel off is to undo the master chain link, and that seems like an excessive amount of effort just to get a wheel off (especially for roadside tube changes, though I would generally just add a patch without removing the wheel)

Thanks!
