The speed dial adjustment was made to fine-tune the leverage, but it does not have enough adjustment to work well as a road lever. I actually use the shortest pull setting on my mtb disc and rim calipers. I can’t imagine it feeling too good on road calipers.

Out of curiosity, why didn’t you just get the Spykes instead? They are made to go with long cable pull levers like the Speed Dials.
