|  How do you bend Titanium links
I have just ordered some ti links that I want to bend, Has anyone bent Ti rod and if so how ? I was thinking of just putting them in the vise with a huge lever and bending them that way. |

Just be careful not to put any pressure at the point where it tapers for the thread, they really like to snap there. Good luck.

Heat 'em up cherry red and they'll bend real easy. Ti is a poor conductor of heat, so you won't even need gloves.
