Is the measurement in question taken from the center of the pivot to more or less the center of the cable nipple with the lever fully pulled? (Of course, lever unmounted or with cable unattached to the brake.)
And: Am I right in understanding Ted to say that this difference in measurement is a good general rule of thumb for the amount of cable pull (and, inversely, the "degree" or feel -- I won't say amount because I don't know if the correlation is linear, and also because I don't suppose anyone measures the newtons involved -- of force or leverage produced? IE, the longer such a distance, the more cable pulled and the less force provided? And: What in *y'all's experience *is the smallest such increment or difference in pivot-to-nipple measurement that will make a material difference in the operation and feel of a standard single pivot caliper? Of a mechanical disk brake? I realize that few or none will have comprehensive experience about this, but if someone should say that, for example, Mafac levers provided noticeably more pull and noticeably less leverage than Weinmanns, that would be useful information.) Ted: do you spreadsheet list the pivot to cable distances for numerous levers? If so, would you share it?
