Might be a knats thin that!
Yes, 0.09" that should have been.
Don't ask me why the stockholders over here do tube with imperial OD and metric wall thickness, I don't know either...

What size tube do you guys use? Im going to buy my tube next week for my roof bars and front shock towers, im going to use 1" for the towers I just dont know how thick the tube needs to be, and for the roof bars would 1 3/4 be good? Posted using the WoodsBuggy Mobile App |

I'd agree on 1.5 but after my experience roof bars are gonna be .120, I would not build a whole buggy out of it but for sure the roof |

Main hoop and a-pillar hoops in ours are 2.25mm, so about 0.009", but that's in similar spec to your chromoly tube, and 1.75" diameter. |

Decimal point is in the wrong place Phillip, I think you meant 0.0985. Just sayin. |
