The knob on the Juicy 7 lever adjusts the clearance between the pad and the rotor. The "knob" on the speed dial 7 lever adjusts the fulcrum of the lever thereby changing the mechanical leverage. The function of the knob on the Juicy 7 is accomplished with the barrel adjuster on pretty much every cable lever (I'm not aware of any that don't have one).
