the other advantage of a cross lever is that it very versatile (unlike the bmx and tt options) you can put it near the middle of any normal bar and on the end or behind the grip of most bull horns. they are also very light and have a much smaller clamp than the the goldfinger for example which means more room for your hands on the bars. they do pull a lot of cable because they are designed for v brakes, some people think this is not good (the people who make the overpriced paul lever) but this means if your calipers doesn't have a quick release you can still get you wheel out easily.
