Hello,

Ok right of the bat, absolutely great website for information and products. Well done.
My question is based around connecting two pieces of roll-wrapped carbon fibre tubing together. I would like to achieve this so the tubing can slide tightly into one another and when needed I can disconnect it and pack it away. 
I do not mind if the connecting "slip/ferrule(?)" tube is Interior or Exterior(preferably exterior if I had a choice). An example would be: Im interested in the 35mm ID Carbon Fibre Tube (Roll Wrapped) product you sell. So does this tube slide tightly into the 38.1mm ID Carbon Fibre Tube (Roll Wrapped)? I compose the best way to put it, are your Roll Wrapped tubes telescopic?
If so I am am interested in finding out what kind of adhesive I would need to buy from you to possibly stick either one side or some of them together permanently? Also will this adhesive work if I try to bond aluminium to the carbon tubing?

Thanks for all your help,

G
