1Is it purely abstract question or you need this for something else? I am curios what you're trying to achieve with this. – Vitaliy Kaurov Feb 05 '12 at 22:47

Need this for a tool that helps me to play around with speed (split time) / time / distance for the rowing machine. – Peteris Feb 06 '12 at 10:20

This?
{Slider[Dynamic[x], {0, 10}],
Slider[Dynamic[2 x, Set[x, #/2] &], {0, 20}]}
The documentation explains, under More Information, that "Dynamic[expr,f] makes interactive operations not change expr except by virtue of the evaluation of f[val,expr]. ". Otherwise, Mathematica attempts to assign a value to 2x.
