I run SS, not fixed, with just a front brake. I use a cut down Avid SD7 lever which you can adjust how muich leverage you get, moving up or down the lever. I have it at the top which means the shortest pull for the most stopping on a sidepull. Its amazing, admittedly I'd use a rear brake if I had one but I really don't feel as if I need one, the stopping is literally the equivalent of an onld HS33 I have on my trials bike.
Plus it looks so sweet with no cables.
