Modulation. The ability to add or subtract braking force after the pads have made contact with the disc/ rim. This is a complex equation of all the things ashwinearl talks about, plus the choice of equipment is critical here as well. I would be a little concerned if my lever was as close to the bar (as ashwinearl shows it)at the contact point with little to no room for modulation. But again, it is a personal choice, and what I like isn't going to be right for everyone. Good tips here, but there is one VERY IMPORTANT factor in brake lever set up that was left out. Modulation.
