Hell no ! I work in precious metals only for wedding bands.
DO NOT BUY ANY BANDS THAT ARE HARDER THAN THE CUTTING TOOLS USED IN EMERGENCY ROOMS !
Titanium and tungsten steel are two of those you should avoid.
That's why I make sure the light bulbs I use don't have titanium or tungsten bases
check out this titanium neck band I just got!
Who wants to go ziplining through bamboo forests?
It appears to have a hinge so you should be fine with your "neck" band. Just don't lose the key.check out this titanium neck band I just got!

Nah was too awkward in the mirror
just waited for it to cool and used a hammer to get it on
Ah, too bad. For a second there I was almost impressed. Next time perhaps.
I'll weld the cack ring and keep you posted.
They already make wedding rings you can use for that, you know.
off the shelf solutions are always cheaper.

What in the hell is this?
As someone who was bmx only untill 08 or so I never saw any of the aforementioned cranks.
Seeing the twisted Boones for the first time I thought wow that's a neat looking piece of mill work. Then I thought... hmm I'd have bloody ankles in like 12 seconds.....
either something to smoke the herb or a musical instrument
Both?
Do you really think I weigh myself down with gold after spending all this money on a fancy bike with Ti screws all over?
Ti ring or GTFO, or maybe carbon, but then there is the sunlight issue.
After my little incident with the cactus spine going all the way through my finger above the ring, I am done wearing metal rings while riding. Maybe silicone.
Well fortunately for you the average married man has nine extra fingers.
Fortunately for me I am not married, so no need to wear a ring.

Aren't tungsten rings like crazy brittle? I thought you could break them with a clamp pretty easily?
Also, I've seen a soft gold ring completely deglove a finger in a minor accident. Jewelry of any kind is kinda hazardous
Nah haven't got a Scout. Just got a Smuggler and the Nukeproof these days. Those Cascade links look promising hey - would have like to have tried one on my old Patrol
I have a tungsten wedding band, first one accidentally was shattered when it flicked off my hand as I shook them dry.
Brendog's 1st time riding an XL.
His take aways:
"I've always been against this longer bikes fad" (before riding)
"Not 100% into it"
"Definitely not as playful and fun to jump"
"Didn't notice any worse cornering/turning"
"Eager to try it on rougher and steeper tracks"
I'm the same height and just bought the same bike in size large. His comments reinforce what I suspected and I still feel good about my choice.
EDIT: Oh wait, is this the wrong thread? I meant, "I never wore my wedding ring after my wedding day."

Maybe the ERs in the boonies where you live...
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Hard = Brittle. Far easier to remove via a clamp. I don't want no spinning thing or heat buildup round my digits in an emergency. Also, a hard brittle ring will break before getting munged up on your digits.
I've seen a finger completely degloved from a soft gold ring. I'm pretty sure you're fucked no matter what it's made of unless you're rocking one of those silicone bands.
Pretty sure wedding bands are more dangerous to mental health than anything else though.
Just dunk it in liquid nitrogen.
Hardness is a measure of resistance to scratching not of the metal's strength. Also there are various alloys of titanium, some more malleable than others and some more brittle as you say.
Most ER ring cutting tools are hand turned and the motorized, I would imagine, would use heatless separating discs for the "blade".
If your ring breaks or gets bent while wearing it, then chances are there is going to be some form of injury.
Best practice is to not wear a ring while working with rotary machinery or mountain biking.
since this is the stupidity with metals thread.....

WCGW if I pour molten metal in a freshly cut wood log?
