Hey! Anybody have experience with these $98 ebay racks? If you have opinions on style go ahead and post them but unless you want to fork over th bucks for a better looking rack, I won't pay those posts much attention. Basically I want to know if they will hold tight to tower and not squeak. The batrack I have now can't stay in place over the d-ups even when fully tightened. THANKS.

I have those same racks, no problems at all. I bought them about 4 months ago and never had to retighten them or anything. I would definately buy them again.

I bought those $98 racks about 2 months ago and am pleased with them. I like the simple design over the more expensive ones, and they are strong and won't scratch your board. I had to put spacers in the clamps cause my tower bars weren't quite fat enough, but it is working fine. It does slowly rotate down a few degrees after hitting a lot of rollers, but I think I'm going to drill a hole through each clamp into the tower and put a screw in it to prevent this swiveling. Only real complaint is that there is no way that the bungy cord that comes with it will stretch over the boards and back to the other side. I've been using longer cords from home depot. I wouldn't let that keep you from buying them cause it can be easily remedied. Plus they helped me get bigger air.
