    Does the extra clearance they recon these brakes have come from the lever or the caliper?

    err, maybe neither ?

    I think the lever pivot point is variable somehow so that initial pull gets the pads to the rotor fast, followed by less pad travel as the lever moves further to give more control

    The oones on my mates bike grind just as bad as my brakes in the mud, so I doubt the pads' resting position is any wider

    That's kind of what I was thinking. The caliper doesn't appear to be any wider and it uses the same pads. So when the pads are new they can't be any further away from the rotor can they?
