You should weld the ends with a stainless steel hollow tubing. I had one with a brazed weld and it broke off. I had one tig welded and I never had problem with it. You can also mig weld it if you want. I don't think the aluminum tubing will hold up, i think it will twist or your setscrew won't hold up under big tires and lots of power. I could be wrong though. Goodluck.
