it just refers to the reach of the lever-closer or further away from the bars,depends on the size of your hands i guess.

I think it's to swith between V's and U's as said above........if you use V's then i think you need more leverage??  :-\

It changes the leverage ratio so you can have a softer more progressive feel on v's or use U brakes

 :) DINGO :)

nope but I run levers with adjustment so you can try it, I would say dont bother though as the brake is really spongy on the low setting and if you run discs on that mtb of yours you will prefer a more "stick in the spokes" braking feel
