Short answer
Fringe Sport lists the Sidewing Bottom Pulley for metric 75 x 75 mm uprights sold as 3x3, 2x3 tubing with 5/8 in holes, and 2x2 tubing with 1 in or 5/8 in holes. It will not fit true 3x3 racks or Fringe Garage Series Squat Racks ordered June to October 2020. Its 200 lb capacity applies only when it is paired with Fringe's Gibbon Arms.

Watch out for
- "3x3" on a rack listing may mean metric 75 mm or true 3 in. This pulley fits only the metric size, so measure the outside width of one upright, as Fringe advises.
- Fringe Garage Series Squat Racks ordered June to October 2020 are excluded.
- 2x3 tubing is listed with 5/8 in holes only.
- The 200 lb capacity is for the Gibbon Arms pairing; it is not a rating for other setups.
