Agreed, in the 1.5" range you can find very nice rubber tubing to slide over the Tube to act as grip as well!

Such as McMaster: http://www.mcmaster.com/#87235K34 (comes in black btw )

We used 1.25 OD X .060 wall. It allowed us to press in a FR8 Bearings. So we drove one roller and made the rest dead/pressed in bearings.
