Levers shown here include cable adjusting barrels and reach adjusters that allow the rest position to be adjusted so that even riders with short fingers will be able to reach them.They require "barrel" type cable ends.
DiaCompe Tech 77 Brake levers with stopper buttonThese well-made levers work well with all traditional rim brakes, road or mountain, but should not be used with "direct pull" ("V type") cantilevers.
Hinged clamps make for easy installation.
These levers incorporate "stopper" buttons that act as a "parking brake." This is a handy feature! Makes it easy to lean the bike against anything and not have it fall over. These are my favorites for upright handlebars (Sheldon)

BRL47 Tektro Adjustable Levers $19.95
These have an adjustment for mechanical advantage, so they work with _all_ types of brakes, including direct-pull ("V-type"), center-pull cantilevers, all types of calipers and drum brakes.7/8" (22.2 mm) clamp diameter.
BRL56 Tektro RX 4.1 "Reverse" Levers $27.95
These attach by expander plugs into the ends of the handlebars. They work with normal-travel calipers or traditional center-pull cantilevers, not with "V Brakes" or other "direct pull" cantilevers.These work with pretty much any type of upright or bullhorn handlebar.
In most applications, they put the part of the lever with the greatest leverage under you strongest, longest fingers, so they have real ergonomic benefits.
