  1. I've got new R600 levers with single button hoods, but an older SM-6500
    bracket/sensor kit, made for the two-button right hood. What is
    recommended: shall I get a new bracket/sensor kit for single-button hoods,
    or shall I instead try to fit a two-button hood on the R600 lever?

    Thanks for any help,
    -Brian

    Neither. Just install it and ride.

    The "buttons" in the hoods are not functional, they just serve as a
    tactile indicator of where the actual buttons are.

    Before I switched to Campagnolo, my Hetchins had 105 brifters with the
    both-buttons-on-the-right rubber hoods, but with the
    one-button-on-each-side hardware, worked just fine.
