If your measurements are correct you need something 5mm thick. Tape or tube aint going to do that. Do you know someone with a 3d printer? Print two half cylinders and use the guide clamp to hold it all together.
Good point, if you know it's 5mm you could try and find some poly or aluminium pipe that has a 5mm thickness and cut it then clamp it around the seat tube?If your measurements are correct you need something 5mm thick.

34.9 droppers aren’t uncommon these days. What tubing do they run?Weird, standard tube sizes are 28.6, 31.8 & 34.9mm.
All the AOS suspension linked GT's are 34.9.34.9 droppers aren’t uncommon these days. What tubing do they run?
I surprised myself with this at Falls this year. For the Ignition season-opening event weekend only, they opened the Packhorse trail (normally a climb) as a descent.Are there too many flow trails?
yep poly pipe is a good idea, i’ll try & find someGood point, if you know it's 5mm you could try and find some poly or aluminium pipe that has a 5mm thickness and cut it then clamp it around the seat tube?
Yeah just use poly pipe or electrical conduit with a similar diameter curve.
To fine tune it use tape or aluminium can.
Hard agree. I enjoy a bit of flow now and then, but really prefer old school rugged and natural terrain where the speed, surface, terrain and gradient constantly change. IRide in Apollo Bay is my happy place.I surprised myself with this at Falls this year.

Totally bermless, corners every which way and all different radiuses - but I friggen loved it.
Being that it's narrow and full of minor imperfections (and as a rider who doesn't love the high-consequence risks of big rocks fast, or big gap jumps), it was a great way to still get the adrenaline rush without the higher stakes. The necessary level of focus to tride that trail fast was highly engaging for me, much more so than the average manicured "flow" trail - where I often just feel like I'm waiting for something interesting to come along.
No, you want something that is 2.5mm thick.Good point, if you know it's 5mm you could try and find some poly or aluminium pipe that has a 5mm thickness and cut it then clamp it around the seat tube?
Not if one was 30 and other is 40.No, you want something that is 2.5mm thick.
We will let you off, just this once.Yep, sorry, I was thinking there was a 5mm difference in tube/clamp sizes, not 10mm. Oops.
Good catch @The Duckmeister. To be honest you probably want 2mm since it will need to be cut and then probably taped in place before putting the clamp on. 8mm all the way round plus tape/inner tube or both should get the 10mm needed.No, you want something that is 2.5mm thick.
Went well! You left the trails in a nice condition yesterday.Hard agree. I enjoy a bit of flow now and then, but really prefer old school rugged and natural terrain where the speed, surface, terrain and gradient constantly change. IRide in Apollo Bay is my happy place.
How did you go today, @wkkie?
Agreed.^^ Probably not.
Yes, do it yourself. When you fuck it up you ain't lost anything but gained experience.Is a leaky 15 year old Manitou Axel fork worth servicing?
It's leaking, so would need a kit I assume.Yes, do it yourself. When you fuck it up you ain't lost anything but gained experience.
I have only pulled one fork apart and put it back together, it worked. I was surprised more than most
