in the bog?
you can can get ghost hoods from tandem specialists if you want to run 1 hooded lever, the advantage being is you gain another position on the drops.
i run a single cross lever, with the smallest possible clamp so i can ride hands in the middle comfortably, and very grippy (1.5gbp bricky) gloves and yoshida grips and in the hood position so i can ride there too. i only need the brake for fast stops (in traffic) so the middle is good for me, and the chain covers slow downs on less busy roads when i'm on the hooks.
btw. nitto noodles are the best since la84s
