Cold-Setting Ti Frames?

x But
I wonder if there are any special tips or techniques that should be
used when
working with ti? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Sent it back. The force required to set a Ti frame is much greater than
a steel frame.

The force is less but the overbend necessary to get a set is a lot greater.
This sort of thing is best left to someone who has practiced it.

Hello. I have a rear triangle alignment problem on my Merlin (identified
using the old string method) and confirmed to NOT be correct alignment
by the frame's designer (Tom Kellogg). Merlin says that the frame can be
sent back to the factory where they will cold-set it back into alignment
like a steel frame. Having cold-set steel frames in the past, I am
familiar with the technique. But I wonder if there are any special tips
or techniques that should be used when working with ti? Thanks in
advance for any info you can provide.

you don't want or need to know, just send it back to merlin.
