Brake caliper compatibility

Hey guys,

Can someone tell me if a Shimano BR-5700 105 Brake Caliper will work with a Paul 31.8 cross lever. I'm lost when it comes to brakes. I only need a front brake.

If it is not, what would you recommend for a quality front caliper? (Fixed/ss riding)

Thanks

Cross levers work with caliper brakes.

Ok i guess their description was confusing me. I thought it was saying that this caliper is only compatible with certain levers.

As long as you let someone who knows what they're doing install it! Seriously...if you're concerned enough to install it, I expect you'll want it to work optimally and reliably. Even if you have to go to a shop, it's quick & easy and should be cheap.
