Titanium: New Technologies For Better Bicycles
The 4th most abundant metal and ninth of the nine elements that account for over ninety nine p.c of the mass of the earths crust, titanium is not exactly unobtanium, despite its reputation. But getting titanium out of the earth and turning it into cycle parts takes a gigantic amount of energy. Part of titaniums mythical appeal resides in the fact that its strength-to-weight proportion surpasses any other metal, and it’s highly resistant to corrosion.
Named for the Titans of Greek mythology, the tensile strength of some common titanium alloys approaches that of high-strength steels and far surpasses that of aluminium, without being brittle. Perhaps as significantly, titanium, like steel and in contrast to aluminum and magnesium, has a fatigue limit, suggesting if the pressures are kept below that amount, it will never fail from fatigue. Its a high fatigue limit at that, thanks to its high tensile strength. The Youngs modulus ( stiffness index ) of titanium is around half that of steel, but so is its density. Titaniums density is high enough that tubes cannot be made as stiff for a similar weight as aluminium or magnesium ones, because heavier walls are required to forestall buckling with huge diameter.
The anti corrosive properties of titanium are extraordinary. Nuclear submarines are made from it so they wont corrode in caustic marine environments, and unpainted titanium bikes and elements simply do not rust. Titanium is not crisp either ; it can be stretched around twice as far as steel and four times as far as aluminum before being permanently deformed. This gives titanium frames survivability in crashes, since they are going to be far more likely than others to spring back after impact. Eventually, the ride of a titanium bike is normally smooth, because a frame designer can choose thin tube diameters and wall thicknesses to offer a flexible ride without losing longevity.
Due to titaniums ability to stretch and return to its original shape, drawing it into tubes demands bigger and more powerful machines than those needed to draw steel tubing. Welding requires enclosure in an inert-gas atmosphere, and weld contamination must further be forestalled through careful cleaning. Machining titanium requires extremely sharpened tools and particular speeds and lubricants ; copper-laden lubricants are used on titanium threads, and it is not endorsed to thread titanium parts into one another.
Titanium excels for bike frame tubing and dropouts as well as for light bolts, axles and saddle rails.

Cheap Trick, the Knack, the Babys — the list is endless. It may have seemed like just about every band with a catchy hook and shaggy hairdo scored at least a hit or two, but this didn’t prove to be the case, as evidenced by the 1978 self-titled debut album from Trigger. Scouted by none other than Gene Simmons and signed to Kiss’ label at the time, Casablanca Records, Trigger’s lone album certainly fits in well with the aforementioned leaders of the genre. But there is one thing missing from Trigger’s debut — a clear-cut, bona fide hit single. The group certainly knew how to pen a well-constructed song — tracks such as “Baby Don’t Cry” and “Shake It Up” were heavy on the vocal harmonies and lyrics about the ups and downs of relationships — but Trigger never got around to penning their “I Want You To Want Me.” Although they may have been similar musically to their counterparts, one thing that made Trigger different was their lead vocals, courtesy of the group’s pair of singer/guitarists, Jimmy Duggan and Richie House — whose voices sound more akin to the throaty shout of Slade’s Noddy Holder, especially on the album-opener “Somebody Like You.” If Trigger was afforded a shot at further albums, they very well may have blossomed into a world-class melodic rock act. But all that is left is a fine debut, and a lot of “what if?” type thoughts. Long out of print, Trigger was remastered and reissued on CD as a European import in 2009, via the Rock Candy label. ~ Greg Prato |
