What are some Ways to make them wider..

I know about the Seatpost thing but they are to heavy.

Eric Magray told me about Copper Tubing. Anyone know anything about that.

Anyone know something that would fit in the T-tubes itself.

Thanks.

7/8" OD tubes fit in T-tubes. They should be with at least 0.065" walls if they are made out of chromoly.
Check onlinemetals.com

And if a seatpost is too heavy for you, then all i've got to say is: "WTF?!"

Well its not that They are too heavy but i hate the top part with the screws hanging out and all but i dont feel like bolting the tubes and id rather have something fit into the T-tube itself.

Is there anyway i could get some tubing at a Hardware store?

I am not sure about America but hardware stores here , only few have the information of what metal you are getting , wall thickness , grade etc.

I am not too sure of this buy I could probably help you find some metal tubing of the size , wall thickness and grade you want and then sell it to you with no profit or little profit. You got to pay shipping though.

There are probably seat tubes that don't have the screws coming out the top, or you could just cut the screws. Or just go to a hardware store and find what fits in the t-tube and bolt it.

No offense but you must be lazy as hell.

Go to a metal warehouse/shop and get a steel or aluminum tube. Then put it in your t tube , drill through and bolt. Aluminum is weaker but easier to drill through.
