this is one of my wacky ideas that i did not won't to tell anyone (like no one has thought of it before). I don't know why they do not do this already. Or hot rivet crank pins for that matter so you can replace them when they are worn out. You could do the same with rod bushings. Although they are a bit cheaper and can be replaced fairly easily.

how much would a titanium crank cost
