Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

A slot under the clip wouldn't serve much purpose since the cable and noodle would still be trapped. To serve the purpose the slot would have to be at the top.

Replacing the brake is always an option, but I'd just go ahead and cut a slot and solve the problem for now.
