As a result I have to pull the front brake lever a bit more than the right one before the pads actually make contact with the rim brake surface. Do caliper brakes have an adjustment for how far apart the pads are? I read through the rim brake page on Sheldon's site but didn't see anything about adjusting the pad opening on caliper brakes.
