yes it's a hassle.. carry a rag or something..
but most of the time i know before hand what gears i need for my ride..
don't want to spend $ on a frt derail..
if i really needed a FD.. i could mod an old one and use a hose clamp..
to fit the large seat-tube..sorta tacky..
but the added weight of shifter, cable,FD
defeat the other parts i stripped off to save weight..
