What are “Lugs”?

0

Lugs refer to lug-soled hiking boots. Look at the underside of a pair of hiking boots. The tread may be raised up, like knobby tires on an off-road pickup truck. The purpose is the same – more traction while traversing a natural surface.

Lugs are metal sleeves that the frame tubes plug into at the joints. In the case of steel frames, they are made of steel and add strength, allowing the builder to use less heat in the process of building the frame. This means the tubes distort less and fit together more precisely, which also aids longevity. We use only precisely cast lugs for superior performance and low weight.
