Thanks! I have the "CC" version of the Rohloff, which has a hollow axle for a QR skewer. This version also comes with a quick-release attachment for the torque arm, so removal is pretty simple. However, it looks a little clunky, so I actually chose to bolt it on with a coaster brake chainstay clamp. Still doesn't take too much effort to unbolt it if necessary. I guess my area doesn't have too much road debris; I only get flats two or three times a year. Which is to say, I haven't had one yet with this bike. Maybe after I do I'll change my mind.
