Weird. On Cade's bike the lever doesn't even come close to the bar. Full braking it's still at least an inch away. I'd like to get it closer. Released it's probably close to the 1.5" you show but the lever doesn't move more the about 0.5" under full braking. That's with the contact point cranked all the way out and the lever cranked all the way in. I was hoping I'd be able to take out the piston rod and thread it down a little farther to get it cranked in a little bit more. No luck. Looks like I'll be heating and bending the lever a little bit. It's not the end of the world but I was hoping if I spent $100/wheel it would be easier. I set the caliper position the way I do on my Mtn bikes. Loosen the mount, lock the brakes to square up and center the caliper, tighten the mounts.

Bought the Skeletal brakes based on this thread. Disappointed that they don't adjust in closer to the bars. Reach is still too far for a 5yo hand and brakes lock solid well before the lever even gets close to the bars. I've got reach adjustment cranked all the way in and pad contact adjusted all the way out. Was hoping for more adjustment. My advice to the next person is to keep looking. Maybe we'll find the right brakes out there somewhere.
