Fits on the front fork brake hole and reduces brake snatch on carbon forks with cantilever brakes.
Mounting the hanger in this position serves two important purposes;
1. It does away with the long drop of inner cable between the top of the headset and straddle cable. In standard 'cross fork designs, minute changes in length caused by flex in the fork under braking, cause resonance in this area that leads to judder in some circumstances [mostly on harder surfaces with larger frames and riders]. The use of a crown mounted hanger completely eliminates this problem.
2. It allows a lower stack height that is important in 'cross for short stretches of powerful climbing.
