Braking in a straight line on a good dry road the rear wheel is almost lifting off the road when the front brake is applying the maximum possible braking force. The rear brake is useless when there is no weight on the rear tyre, and any rear brake applied then will cause the tyre to skid. The ideal bias is up to 100/0.
Breaking in a turn the front tyre is dealing with the sideways force as well as braking so that when the maximum amount of front brake is applied the rear wheel still has some weight on it and the rear brake is still useful. The tighter the turn, or greater the speed, the closer to 50/50 the bias would need to be for maximum braking effectiveness.
In wet or slippery conditions the front tyre can't keep traction enough to unweight the rear wheel, to a greater or lesser extent depending on how bad the conditions are. The ideal bias could be anywhere, you have to feel it out.
Dual brake levers from tricycles and pedicabs are
made for left and right wheels.
The use of these for front and rear wheels on a bike does not allow the rider to have any control over the front and rear bias where the ideal bias depends on the situation, like straight line or in a turn, in dry or slippery conditions, on flat ground or on a downhill..
If someone wants to use those on a bike it's their choice. It's their bike.
Having independent braking does allow the rider to control the bias fully while riding.
There's absolutely no need to position the rear brake lever above horizontal. If someone wants to do that it's their own choice. Mine is below horizontal and can be operated by one finger. It's still easy to reach the clutch lever too.
I have seen downhill off road wheelchairs with four levers for independent braking but that is a different story.
The OP wants to use a dual pull lever and that's fine. It's
his bike.
