Yeah, this crossed my mind... We have some 40mm o/d tube at work that was bought in for a specific job.. It has a wall thickness of 10mm!!! As Nick (Nrs91) said tho with his experience I'll wreck the joints before I snap the shaft, so Im tempted to see how it goes. The greatest torque will be in 1st and 2nd low... With this in mind, I won't be giving it the beans when in these gears. When at 110kph pulling out to overtake a B Double, the power will be there but it'll be nowhere near what it would be accelerating hard in 2nd or 3rd!
