Agree stop drill ends of crack and epoxy it.

What is the downside of titanium bike frames?
Titanium has some distinct downsides, though. Its extreme strength makes it very difficult to work with. It can't even be welded in air, and that means repairs can be quite expensive. The material itself isn't cheap, either, as it's rarer than other metals used in bike frames.Feb 8, 2023
