Re: [DTXpress] Adding the "crossbrace" to old set.

2002-02-20 by Joseph Palacki

I had bought a pair of metal gibraltar rack clamps for
the front crossbar. After that the rack didn't need a
second crossbar.  It stands very steady and wobbles
very little even when you play hard.  I think the lack
of stability is because of those flimsy plastic clamps
included.  The aluminum pipe rack provides plenty of
support.  I think you should try getting two real rack
clamps and try them first.  You will probably notice
that the gibraltar clamps are easier on set up and
tear down.   -Joe
