I have a hoop over the roller as well. To attach my bridle I do have to lean out to feed both legs of the bridle back through the hoop. However, when anchoring daily, I can just leave the bridle fed back through after I detach it when bringing in the anchor.
A single snubber is great however and I use it as well by simply using one leg of my bridle setup. I do have hause holes on my boat however and those are a more robust section of the boat than the bow roller.
