My heart broke with my boom today

[BikeGary]

Titanium and chromoly steel will never ever have that kind of problem. (photo shows my Ti steering column handlebar clamp. I call it "steering column" because it won't make any "boom"ing sound.) View attachment 6691

I have a Ti Cross bike which I have broken the frame 3 times. (no major falls, I suspect overheating during the building of the frame. Each time I had a local Ti Welder fix it.) Anything is possible...

Silca makes a very lightweight torque tube that's small enough to have with you on the road. And it's currently on sale. https://silca.cc/products/toq

I have this small toque wrench.

I have a Park Tool ratcheting torque wrench I really like. Runs around $100 or so and it has a case.
