These 10mm tubes have a wall thickness of about 1mm, so the ID is approximately 8mm. If you need >8mm, you don't want this tube unless you want to ream it out a bit.
Make angled join at aprox. 30 degrees, use some CA to fix it and wrap around join some kevlar thread.
Put some epoxy at join (over kevlar). Also, you can fill hollow with exact diameter (aprox. 8mm) stick to improve stiffness.
If you mean the 'squared structure' :No they don't. They are only black like glas fibre. Um, mine are totally straight.. -have checked them against the door-
Hack saw will not cut through all of the fibers evenly, and will tear unevenly exposing to much fiber. This will weaken the material. CF can take a lot of friction so cut it quick * high RPM.
You can use a saw, electric saw or pen knife. But be careful with the carbon dust. It is extremely harmful to your lungs and eyes. Don't work on these at home.
Really light and strong. It fits into the 11x10mm tube almost perfectly.

3 thumbs up!
They are light , axial , but not straight enough .
If You need strength search radial type. There was not chance of sliding them inside the 11mm tubes.

These carbon tubes are great. The carbon rovings are actually not axial but radiaI. This type is usually more expensive at least at the kite shop I usually buy at. The inner diameter is not a typo - it is really 9mm opposed to the 8mm the standard 10mm tubes usually have. These tubes weigh only 13.8g!
