    Default swaged tubing interest?

    I've been looking for a tapered 7/8" / 22mm ROUND chainstay and found True Temper used to make them and there are some in stock of the Kit CS-1's that have a 1mm wall at the 22mm end.
    But for using the Paragon Yoke i am wondering if there would be any interest in a round 22mm tapered chainstay with 0.9mm wall and tapering to something under 16mm at the tip?
    Such chainstays would be useful for using the yoke (plug is made for 7/8 x .035) with any dropout but especially something like the hooded Sliders. Such tapered stays would also be useful for tab dropouts in my opinion.

    Are there any other swaged tubing you'd like to see that isn't available now?

    I have a friend that has a friend that can make said tubing from straight gauge for a reasonable price so if anyone would want some of these tubes please contact me.

    Thanks,
    Whit

    Thank you.
    As usually happens I eat my words *after* I post...
    Nova has a set too with 0.8 wall.

    Hi Whit - Kaisei Japan also makes (made?) these tubes. I’m not sure if Compass is importing them in their kits currently, but when UBI was still importing Kaisei I bought several pair. I know you could order by the case direct.
