View Details: Litespeed CX Cyclocross Frameset Helpful Votes: 0 Yes \| 0 No By Chris Jones November 11, 2009 I contacted Litespeed and they have not had any of the cross bikes come back with hanger problems. They have really beefed up the Ti in the hanger area and it is very strong. If you do crash hard and bend it the Ti is malleable enough that you can bend it back with out fear of cracking. It takes a lot of force to bend it either way. You shouldn't have any problems with it.
