I bought 3 of these, along with 3 matching rack-side memory locks, and 3/4" memory locks for the clamp side. Approximately $45 for each combo, so imagine by dismay to see that the lot of clamps have NO MEMORY LOCK NOTCHES!
Here's the Mickey-Mouse job I had to do, just to make their use somewhat "acceptable".
I've already contacted Gibraltar about this, but have not yet heard back. They SPECIALIZE in this stuff, so you would think they'd get this right. I hope I just got a bad lot, but I doubt it.
Which begs this question: I have $800+ worth of clamps on my rack, most of which are road series models, which are all black. This is the first time I went chrome, as it was my first step toward swapping all my clamps out for chrome. Does anyone know whether or not ALL chrome series clamps are "memory-lock" INcompatible on the multi-clamp side? I'm starting wonder if I should move toward DW clamps instead.
