Deviantdefective on March 25, 2025 3:11 pm Are you sure that’s titanium that looks oddly like rust on the inside? And hope you’re okay OP.
ride_whenever on March 25, 2025 3:19 pm I really should take my cracked titanium post off, and fit the super light one that’s on my desk. Are you okay, it didn’t applecore your butt, did it?
drnullpointer on March 25, 2025 3:33 pm The thinness at the break suggests to me that it was poorly designed/manufactured. Titanium is stronger than steel *PER UNIT OF MASS*. Steel is still stronger than titanium when the tube has the same thickness.

Because it was not sized properly for the usage.
