Mark,

Not sure I understand what you are saying- when the brake cable is at right angles to the brake lever the force in the cable is at a maximum under the applied torque from the brake crossbar.

This also applies in reverse to the pull from the cable acting on the hub brake levers.

The 'effective' brake lever becomes shorter as the brake lever moves forward from the vertical (where the cable was at right angles to the lever) thus giving less force or pull in the cable.
