Hi can you be more thorough of explaining your problem???
Good maintenance to your Bike, can make it like the wheels are, true and smooth!
Hi Bill,
As you know the SD 7 brake levers have a red plastic nut that turns by hand to move the cable swage retainer up and down within the grip housing. As far as i can see this changes the pulling angle of the cable at its joint with the lever. The problem is that i can't discern any change in lever play or feel or tolerance, etc. This makes me wonder what it's actually for, and how i should set it.

I think you are mistaken. The SRAM website and others say that AVID SD 7 are a long pull lever compatible with mechanical disc brakes and linear pull rim brakes (V-brakes), not cantilevers.
