Been trying to find out the same thing bmb.Can tell you a 2016 is too small and a 2117 too big.Maybe a 2018 or 2020 if I could find one to try.

If you are looking for inside dia. the 2013 XX75 would be bigger than a 2016 or 2018. Outside dia. would be the same. What is the purpose of footing a carbon shaft with aluminum? I have used Alum on a wood shaft with good results......James

Nope, I can see it isn't there.

When you find out let me know and I'll update the list.

I footed mine with some 2117's. It isn't a tight friction fit but once you cover the outside of the shaft and inside of the footing w/ epoxy it works fine.

I also used 2117's I use gorilla glue it expands and looks like it will fill in any gaps,so for it seems to work good.

I use 2117's a little loose but seem to be effective with lots of epoxy.
