Hello W. I totally agree with your description of internal gear hubs, and I would like to give one more vote for the advantages of internal gear hubs for folding bicycle. The desadvantage of 0.5 kg or one more kg is not relevant in a bicycle if you are not competing. Now about losing 0.450 kg is easy for you but a guy like me weighting 54 kg is a bit difficult!
