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?

34.9 droppers aren’t uncommon these days. What tubing do they run?

All the AOS suspension linked GT's are 34.9.

Are there too many flow trails?

Yeah just use poly pipe or electrical conduit with a similar diameter curve.
To fine tune it use tape or aluminium can.

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.
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.

Not if one was 30 and other is 40.

Yep, sorry, I was thinking there was a 5mm difference in tube/clamp sizes, not 10mm. Oops.
We will let you off, just this once.

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.
Edit: should have just shut my mouth and not second guessed myself. That's why I'm a backyard tinkerer not a professional. Off to YouTube to see it done by someone even less qualified than myself.

Went well! You left the trails in a nice condition yesterday.
Perfect day for it. Slipping around on the loose leaf litter is a lot of fun!

^^ Probably not.

Agreed.

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

It's leaking, so would need a kit I assume.
