Less simple is that the sub-lever has no reservoir
Ah, yes. That would present a problem. Think I'd assumed it was in some way similar to a MTB lever, what with the hydraulic cable being split and having an in and out port on the sub lever.
(And I think I'll skip planning an upside-down MTB lever on the base bar)Why don't Shimano just do a sensibly priced hydraulic lever much like the MTB levers... ah yeah, because triathlon = stupid money. Grrr

Fairly stupid, but that's not the real problem. Easiest to solve is that it fits 31.8mm bars, and TT base bars are 23.8 (or 22.2 in odd cases). Less simple is that the sub-lever has no reservoir, so you'd need to connect a remote reservoir to the inlet port. That's not going to do much for your aeros unless you route the hose through the bars and hide the reservoir between your arms.
