you cannot daisy chain hydro disc brakes .. but you can do a primary and interruptor lever on the same cable.
I just question, other than on drop bars, Why? .. going to use the rim for parking brakes?
(would be better than gripping a Hot Disc, and holding it on.)
Want brakes within easy reach on alternative positions that aren't road brakes. Hoods hurt badly after 200-300km.

Flat bars and hydros also give me way more confidence descending but, I want the 'hood' position for crusing now and then. In summary I want my cake and eat it to.
