• Hello,

    Some Bikes do have a riveted badge on their headtube. Does this effect the stability of the headtube?
    Most bikes have a drilled headtube where the other tubes join the headtube, but doesn't have any effect on the headtube, because there are the top and down tube connected with brazzing or welding.
    For any experience or ideas I would be very grateful
    cheers

  • Most failures/cracks that occur near the headtube are on the lugs, or in some cases where the headset cups are installed.
    If framebuilders used (and still use) to pierce the ht to fit badges I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing.
