You should be able to find the ans on google or Sheldon Brown...

V-brakes need specific leavers bc they pull more cable to pull them together.
So:
V-brakes = ONLY V-brake leavers*
there is a little pully thing you can use to use normal brake leavers - some ppl say they're shit, some say they work (search for it)
EDIT: also, yes you can use cross-tops without drops (I think thats ans'ing the other Q you were asking)
