I purchased the new Momo wheel at Circuit City today and had to return it because I couldn't get it to clamp to my desk, which has a 2-inch thick edge. Can someone please tell me if the original Momo wheel would clamp over my desk? Thanks!

The clamp opens to about 2 1/4" here at my house Gary, and the clamp arms are shaped so that if only the face of the desk were 2" thick, the arms would still allow it to clamp up.

I concur... according to my calipers, the opening is 2 3/8" and I'm sure it would grip a 2" surface. Jan. =---

Why Circuit City? If you have a nearby CompUSA they have it this week for $89.99 less a $20 MIR. Cost after rebate is paid will be approximately $75. -- callsignviper The truth is out there. You just have to look in the right places and ask the right questions.
