I had a similar problem and came up with the very elegant solution of stuffing the body of the lever with electrical tape. Worked fine for years!

I thought about complicated solutions to this for ages. Then I decided to use a chunky black elastic band (I think this came with an inner tube) and it works so well I can't be bothered to change it.

@JacqueLucque
I've just received a pair of SRAM S500 levers to replace my hopelessly uncomfortable TRP levers.
They look great but I didn't realise the S500 levers are unsprung.
As I run a single front brake on my Steamroller, the LH lever will flop about when fitted.
Has anyone ever come up with a clever way to get around this?
My best idea so far is to run a chopped brake cable in reverse through the lever and cap this with a grub screw thingy from a dropper post.
I'm reluctant to remove the lever as it's nice to rest your hands there. I'd also rather not epoxy/bind the lever if possible as I may, one day, run two brakes on the Steamroller.
Help welcomed with open arms.
