yes. they worked great at first then the clamp in the second post quit "snapping" shut and was kinda crunching/crushing shut (thus the mushroomed metal rails).
Gamma replaced the clamp, no questions asked.
The first post, with the exploded bearings, happened to the second clamp, which still semed good when I had the first one replaced.
Again, clamp replaced no problem.
Current clamps are fine, so far. I think the originals were just part of a bad run, perhaps.
btw, this is just an FYI. Gamma was excellent in the Customer Service and
sent out clamps quickly, even threw in some string I'm currently playing.
