I have a single speed cross bike with 26 mm drop handle bars and want to use a brake lever only. I have avid shortys six cantis. Which company puts out that kind,Im not using sti shifters.Please help me!

Tektro R200 - $25.00
Cane Creek SCR-5 - $45.00
Shimano Ultegra (BLR600) - $95.00
Campagnolo Record - $200.00

Those are full retail prices ... you can probably find them cheaper. If you come across Diacompe ones make sure you don't get the ones designed for v-brakes.

This is a premium post! Wanted to point out that not everyone tells newbies to use the search. Good info shaplike.

Thanx guys for the info.

Road bike levers will work cantilevers. The problem is with direct pull cantilever brakes (v-brakes)

the new tektros...cheap and pretty dope.

Yeah, get the Tektro R200As (or R100As, if you have small hands). I think they're almost universally regaled as the most comfortable non-STI lever on the market, and probably the cheapest to boot.
