i know nothing about road levers- but considering setting up a pair, possibly with only a front brake, no rear (similar to a number if bikes in this thread)- will the dummy hood/lever flap around if there is no cable in it? thanks!

Depends on the lever, and what steps you take to avoid flappage. Shimano SLR brake levers have a return spring, with everything else you have to make your own by one of the methods described above

I have Cane Creek SCR-5 levers on mine which also have a return spring. No flapping or rattling. Good value for money too. But seem to be discontinued which is a shame
