Sorry to hear what happend mr incredible hulk maybe @Larrycan fix this. I know he fixes broken plastic frames

This has never happend to me. Maybe it was already cracked?

I can only guess there was an internal casting defect that initiated the crack. Welding Ti64 is possible but difficult/expansive since Ti is extremely reactive to O at elevated temperatures. So it's usually done in vacuum.
(I know some Ti-3Al-2.5V bike frames are welded w/ inert gas only, but yeah... that's more to save cost than anything)

You're gonna have to find a new arm somewhere in the exchange.

I've seen some people cut those ear stems off. At least you can still wear them and keep the original serial number

Ok, was afraid of that. Bummer that it also is the arm with serial number on it. Thanks

It can be welded with a laser welder Dental Labs. or Juwelier have.
Just call around and send the your pictures.
