The buxum requires you remove the bars and reposition them - like most boxes require you to do. The problem is that there's not enough play in the brake lines to really move the bars very far. I use etap so I didn't even have to worry about the shifter cables.
I build my own bikes. When I route the hydraulic hoses internally, I jam as much the hose as I can into the aero handlebar (for front) and frame (for rear) just for this purpose. Usually the aero handlebars are wide enough to give you a couple of inches of extra slack for the front, and the rear is never a problem because I can probably add extra 5 inches of slack.
