The juicy 7's have a pad contact control knob so you can adjust it right from the lever. But they dont make them anymore as far as I know. The CR's are sweet. There is also the hayes stroker cr which is $100. little less. Has the knob like juicy 7's I think.
the tektros i have use an adjusting knob exactly like the BB5s i have on my other bike. you can set the inboard pad with the knob and you set the outboard pad with cable tension. not sure what brakes you are talking about. shouldnt have to take the wheel off at all to adjust
