Hi i want to make light strong tent pole in 2 or 3 parts socketed together. The pole needs to be 1200mm long. I know a cf walking pole I have about 13mm od about 1mm wall 3 parts with aluminium spigots 130 gram weight, is strong enough and a 9mm easton 3 part Al alloy about .5mm wall, 74 gram weight, is a bit too springy. So i thought your 12.7 wrapped id cf tube would be about right. Is your woven tube anystronger for the weight than your wrapped? I want the spigot to be a close sliding fit and not to be the point of failure. Would you think aluminium or do you make a standard wrapped tube or wrapped or pultruded rod that would work?

Hi warren do you have a product that would work as a spigot say a 12mm od rod or tube? I suspect a pultruded rod might fail because the spigot will be in bending. Perhaps a 10-12 wrapped tube filled with a pultruded rod so it is as strong as the 12.7-15.5 main tube? Alternatively a lot of your products seem to next size down is the same od as the next up id. Is it easy to sand down cf tube to a sliding fit?
