We've run a very similar setup for two years, but we used 3x1.5" tube. The extra inch lets you get a bigger pulley in the tube and a little more room for installation, which makes the drive stronger and less likely to ratchet with quick direction changes.
Our drivetrain was literally maintenance free since we first set it up in week 4. Not a thing needed to be maintained. It was wonderful.
