I once put this question to the guys at Paul's. They claim (know or believe?) that if you move the canti front pads forward of the fork blades you increase the possibility of shudder. I have found that replacing the long pads with shortys makes no discernible difference in braking and widens the opening by 4 or 5 mm. The tip of the rubber still hits the fork on my Pauls as compared to the fat of the cartridge.
