Hi,
I don't think that in their standard form, carbon fibre tubes would be suitable for this sort of use. Composites like carbon fibre can be quite britle in an impact (particuarly repetative impact) situation and also the high operating temperature would not help either.
If they were engineered specifically for this task (high temperature resin system, consideration to fibre orientation etc) then there might be a possibility but using an off-the-shelf tube in this way would not be recommended.
Best regards, Matt
