I have “opened up” the clamp on MTB shifters to use on Drops...it works just ok...if you had an accurate way to enlarge the diameter it would be better, If you don’t get them right, they slip. I agree with Joe Bernard, there is so much “leverage” on the brake lever perch that you might stress it and snap at an inopportune moment.
