Questions & Answers for Cane Creek Crosstop Brake Levers

Question
Would one of these work as the only brake on a fixed gear?
I want to run straight bars on my Pearson Touche fixed gear with just a front brake lever (perhaps a Cane Creek crosstop). Hence I need to know that crosstops can be connected up directly with the brakes calipers and not rely upon being connected to the brake lever on the hoods too. Thank you.

I have seen this done but haven't actually tried it myself. Apparently it works fine. Does look a bit odd though since the metal end of the brake cable is exposed. Good luck!

No, these are designed to fit with brake cables that run alongside grooves of handlebars, that are internally routed through the brake levers.

Can I use these with V-brakes?

Yes, you can use almost any brake lever with V brakes, only the amount of 'play' will vary (ie the distance between the rim and the brake pad) with levers having varying amounts of 'pull'. Just tune your brakes properly.

You will need a round clamping area for cross top levers to be fitted. Most aero shaped bars allow brake lever fitment at some point. If possible you should contact sales@wiggle.co.uk with more information so we can suggest a alternative route for you.

Question
Would these crossover levers be suitable to use with the following reverse levers?
Dia Compe188
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Dia-Compe_188_Reverse_Brake_Levers/5360010362/

And could you possibly reccommend a compatible brake cable to purchase?

Thanks

These levers are compatible with the dia compe 188 levers aslong as the brake cable is not routed through the bars. Any normal MTB barrel end cables will fit these 2 levers as the crosstop lever uses its own system to clamp the cable.

Question
Does the hinge system open fully ?
I have some Cinelli Mash bars on my fixie and looking for an easy to attach 31.8mm cross type lever that can be put on / off as required. Because the Cinelli Mash have a flat wide section, this would require a lever that has a hinge type fixing that can be fully opened and placed over the bars rather than 'slid on'.

These do have a fully hinged bracket that allows the clamp to be opened easily and widely to fit to the bars.
