Evening all,

I hopped down a curb and managed to snap my seat post clamp. It's PMP Ti, I was wondering if it would be possible to glue or epoxy it back together.

Cheers

Bin. That started cracking a long time ago. There's another crack by the bolt.

its not going to make you see a dentist but it could cause a blood fart.

it won't glue but it could be welded up if you take to a machine shop

More likely a visit to a proctologist than a dentist.

Titanium.has a very low melting point. Hold the broken edges over a candle and then push them together very hard.

I took the bike to Wilsons in Peckham not long before it cracked, for some adjustments, the seat clamp being one of them, surprised they didn't spot it...

Sound, guess I'm in search for a seat post then. Looking for 27mm carbon post if anyone has anything knocking around.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
