Using steel pipe for Yakima cross bars
The Yakima Cross Bars are 1-1/8" outer diameter mine were steel and rusted. Google is your friend here... You can find 1-1/8" OD aluminum extrusions online. It is difficult to find if you are searching for "pipe" or "tubing". "Extrusions" will get you where you want to be. However if you want them to be strong enough for multiple bikes, kayaks, etc. look for the 1/4" wall thickness. No shims should be necessary. If you want them black you will have to paint them, I recommend rubberized tool dip spray. Home Depot has it.

I'm sure the OP figure out a solution by now. Cheers |

Essentially "tube" is measured on the outside while "pipe" is measured on the inside :-) But of course today's smaller pipe is usually some "nominal" size no longer measured on actual I.D. I suggest that a 1" tube with 1/4" wall thickness might be overkill for a handle bar :-) -- Cheers, John B. Methinks they're talking about the cross bars for a Yakima car top roof rack. Cheers |

If that fails then perhaps he might try steel :-) 6061 T6 typically has a yield strength of 40,000 PSI ( a 1 inch bar has a cross section of 0.785" ) I doubt that weight can be a problem as I recently tried to pick up one of these new fangled all singing, all dancing, mountain bikes and certainly weight is not a consideration :-) -- Cheers, John B. |
