By the way, there is a reason Rene Herse bikes do not have a quick release on the rear hub. Look closely- the derailleur is mounted IN FRONT of the axle. This is supposed to make the chain last longer by spreading the stress over more teeth. The rear hub uses a winged bolt on the drive side (rather than a derailleur tab and QR) to make wheel installation easier.
