Titanium bikes are the best, change my mind.

Is titanium a super element? Regarding bike frame fabrication, I think it is! Stanton bikes is the authority on making hardcore hardtails, and they make one heck of a Titanium bike. To win my one of a kind steel, Mr Tonka Switchback frame, head over to Instagram, follow me @mrtonka.mtb and Staton @statonbikes. Check out my giveaway post showing pics of the steel Switchback frame and tag 3 friends in the comments. That's it, you'll be entered at that point. You can tag more than 3 friends and it will be appreciated, but it won't get you any more entries. :)

People also ask Why do elements have ium at the end? It's no accident that so many elements in the table end in -ium, for example, because this suffix was settled on as an indicator for metals (which make up the majority of elements)

I am looking for a bike that climbs really well. How does this bike climb? Is there anything about titanium that makes a bike a better climber? Other than it being lighter. Compared to a carbon frame for example?

@MrTonka Жыл бұрын

Hardtails arguably are alway excellent at climbing. More direct and consistent power gets transferred to the tire. And of course the light weight properties are a plus. But the material has little to do with a bikes or riders climbing ability. I don’t know of anyone who has been disappointed with a ti bike purchase. ✌️

@charlesmansplaining Жыл бұрын

I like titanium. That is why I had a US frame builder make me a road frame using titanium. That is why my bars, stem, and seatpost are made from titanium. That is why every fastener I used to build the bike up is titanium. I am currently looking for a builder that offers a titanium fork to replace the ENVE fork. And when the Dura-Ace cranks break I am going with the E-Wings crankset too. Chris King used to offer a titanium headset. I wish he would offer those again because the sweat ruins the aluminum headsets. Yeah, I really love titanium.
