Tubular storage on bike rack

[Parahandy]

Hi everyone. I have seen quite a few people using one or even two pieces of large diameter plastic pipe to store groundsheets, parasols etc fitted inside the main loop of bike racks. Last week I saw a guy in France with two of them but quite large diameters. They appear to have securable end pieces. Any idea on where I can get such things? I tried B&Q and Wickes but they either don't do large diameter pipe or don't have end fixings. Your advice is appreciated.

would it have been a plumbers pipe carrier cut in half?

PLastic pipe up to at least 150 mm diameter is readily available doing a quick google search. Don’t know about secure end caps though.

Certainly looks like that but I can't locate secure end caps. Still looking.

4" sewer pipe cut to length, 2 off, end caps (eBay @ £7.99 each) you could apply Plumbing solder one end making that end permanent and the other self-tapped or bolted as the opening end. sand & spray your colour.
