A newbies opinion!
No_Name,
Ultimately you can use ANY size pipe you choose. The real question is whether or not the pipes (you are proposing) are going to deflect less (a good thing), or more (a BAD thing). My guess is that if the walls of the pipes are thicker, then there should be less deflection. Since the rails on the JGRO are unsupported, there will ALWAYS be some deflection. The decision you need to make is, how much deflection is acceptable to you. If you could do some deflection calculations, with both sizes, that will help you to make your decision. Hope this has been of some help?
Good luck with your build and remember... A picture is worth a thousand words & video speaks volumes. :wave:
