BikeCAD How To Forum

Hi there,

I'm trying to adjust the top tube of my bike. I'm following the Step through frame video (bikecad.ca/step_through_frame) but when I click on the "extension icon" nothing happens, I can't change the parameter that it controls. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi Brent,

I would like to know how to put a shock onto my bikes.

If you wouldn't mind, could reply to this

Thanks,

Lucas

Hi. I'm new here. Mainly interested in designing a couple of components rather than a whole bike or frameset. Are there design files that have a standard downtube shifter boss in them? (with the actual rounded rectangle shape) I am trying to design a shifter mount to be 3D printed (sintered) from aluminum. Trying to come up with something similar to the old WTB Multimount shifter adaptors but made to adapt downtube shifters instead of thumbshifters like the originals were made for.

If I create a generic tandem design, the 'Straighten Top Tube' button is grayed out and not clickable. How do I get this button to work?

Hi!

I try to make my perfect bikepolo geometry, can someone help me to check the toe overlap and index of stability on this design??

bikecad.ca/1569270692053

I need to have, at least an -2.97 jones’ Index

and my shoes are 300mm, with spd cleat at 95mm of the top!

Thanks in advance!

hi Brent,

Is there any way to add a single seat tube curve without altering the virtual seat stay angle for a given saddle height?

if not, would it be possible to lock saddle position on a drawing?

this would allow us to curve the ST to give more tire clearance without modifying a given fit.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

How can I simulate head angle, seat tube angle and bottom bracket drop change by changing the axle to crown length?

Thanks

Hi Brent et al,

I've just started testing the Free version.

Should changing Fork A-C and Offset (Rake) also change the Head Angle?

Wouldn't the Head Angle increase if the A-C was made shorter

Thanks, MTB.

I'm trying to save a design using the File > Save Online menu option, but after filling in the details and clicking the submit button, I'm getting the following messages in the problem log:

Fri Jan 18 15:32:01 GMT-00:00 2019 :: Trouble exporting file

Fri Jan 18 15:32:01 GMT-00:00 2019 :: java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://www.bikecad.ca//saveBCAD.php

Is anyone else experiencing this, or know how to fix it?

Hey Brent,

Is there a way to re-organize my "standard components" so that they're in order alpha numerically? Right now saddles are a bit out of order as are wheel sizes. I'm not sure if I did this or somehow.
