Probably not a problem once you get used to it. The Klickfix also has a plastic coated cable, but it is a little more straight forward than Ortlieb's. The Ortlieb is not a problem as long as you just "snug" the cable stops rather than mashing the cable.

Thanks, Bill at Wallbike also confirmed that the Klickfix will work. The Ortlieb mount is very stable, but it just looks so "hoaky" and if they wanted me to just "snug" the cable stops up I wish they hadn't written "100%" in the instructions for tightening them.
