I run Midges on my single-speed KM that is my main commuter. They take a while to get used to and a lot of tweaking, but once you have them set up right they are comfortable in the drops and on the hoods. They rock for getting that extra needed leverage when pumping up the hills since down shifting is not an option on a single-speed. The drops are at an almost perfect ergonomic position for your hands. (Angled slightly out at the ends) I recently changed to a stem with a steeper angle to get them up a little higher and further back. You want to make sure all your weight is not resting on your hands or they will hurt. That said, I also have Nitto Noodles on the Witcomb and would definitely recommend them for multiple comfortable hand positions.
