    I have my sales guy at Swee****er reaching out to Ludwig to know for sure. Hopefully that P1728 is what gets shipped with them. And yes, just to set the height of the legs. Thx.

    Thanks.
    I ordered and got mine CM kit last year and it came with them but they are cheesy. They work but do not flow well IMO. Something ludwig could easily improve upon. I can post a closeup of them later tonight if you like? I hate them but they work

    Ludwig reported back that the floor tom legs on the new Classic Maple kits are 12mm. So i ordered 9 of the PLH1133 (Ludwig Atlas Memory Locks). Although my kit is coming with Triad Brackets because i don't like the Atlas stuff so who knows if what i ordered will even work. I find it strange that the kit doesn't come with memory locks for the floor toms. (smh). This kit isn't cheap either. Here is what a PLH1133 looks like. Is this what you have?

    Oh wow, sorry if I may have mislead with the 9.5mm size. I did not know but that’s what came up when searching. Plus, I know the vintage Ludwig's used 9.5mm.
    You could just lock that baby (PLH1133) on the leg against the bottom of the floor tom leg mount. Doesn’t look like it has a tab or anything so that’s fine.
    As far as memory, how will you know which leg goes where unless you mark them?

    Yes that is exactly what I have. I hate them, they do not cozy right up to the lug. Not a big deal but if your as OCD as me it will bother you. I live with it but wish they would come out with something better. One of mine was bent up but luckiliy I am only a few miles away from DCP where I bought the kit and they had extra's laying around. Someday I will look into after market or other manufacturers memory locks that look and function better. The CM Kit is expensive but I have had other top tier kits in the past that although sound good do not have nearly the tuning range of CM's, or the hardware options and were way way more expensive. T

    Well for me, I wouldn’t use a floor tom memory lock unless the actual leg mount went out. That’d be a good time to have one of those handy. Or a very small pair of vise grips...lol.

    Leg mount went out? Memory locks are great on floor toms when gigging? If you gig a lot they are almost a necessity.

    I have never had to worry about a leg slipping after tightening the leg mount. Of course there were different types of leg mounts too. Those push tab type may slip once in awhile but then we’d use a hose clamp under it.
    It’s just another fastener or tool that they can sell you. Not necessarily a necessity. I’ve never had one on any kit I’ve owned.
    Especially not for memory!
    Memory locks on toms are great but for floor tom legs? I’ll pass.

    yeah I use them more for the quick set up so I am not adjusting legs a few times every time I gig.

    That’s fine my friend. It’s just not for me. It’d be no fun if we all were the same. I can respect others opinions and or needs. All the best, friends!
