hi. i bought a pair of v-brake levers made by Avid. they are "Speed dial 5" and have a red knob on them.
when i turn it, it moves the position of the bracket that holds the brake cable so the cable is pulled with a different leverage. or at least that's what i think it does. from completely screwed in and completely screwdd out, i hardly notice a difference. the levers still have to be pulled the same distance and the brakes don't move at all when turning the knob. can anyone tell me what this thing is for?
i've tried searching Google but it comes up with hydraulic ones.
