This is agreed.

Cludgy and unnecessary. Adjusting a saddle on a Thomson seat post would be impossible. Adjusting spring tension on my Neo-retros would require the removal of the wheel (which seems to defeat the purpose). Using the spoke wrench, by the way it appears, would require a gazillion tiny little turns, which would ultimately drive me insane.

Maybe this will work for someone....just not me.

Final manufacturing cost per each will be pretty low.  A $35 for 2 option for the Kickstarter would be nice.  Then people can have one for themselves, and give one to a friend.  People often talk about gifts.  "Look at this cool thing so-and-so gave me."  Suddenly more people know about your product.  Alternatively, $35 for two could be one for now, and a replacement for when it gets stolen.  It puts an extra $10 in your pocket for a negligible amount of extra shipping/manufacturing.  

"Blah blah but I want people to pay the full $25 for two."  I'm sure you do.  But look at your stats.  How many people are doing so?  Very few I, I suspect.  Whereas the number of people who would do 2/$35 is probably a good portion of your contributors.
