Metric sizes do telescope but with larger wall thicknesses like 2 and 1.5mm.

diameter Alum pipe.
If it is TUBING - exact inch size od (usually 0.125" steps in od) then
the 1" wall thickness needs to be about 0.060 so the 7/8 0.875" od tube
will fit inside. Tube walls unless specifically sourced as telescoping
will usually be in exact multiples of 0.125 - 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 etc.
Metric size tubes do not telescope.
