BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi Brent

I was wondering how one would model in flat plate bb yokes?? single and double sided?? with the update I see some rad options.. but I am making my own from flat stock chromo

Hey Brent,

Is there a way to adjust the braze-on locations for a rear rack?

I see that there is an option to move the top braze-ons along the seat stay but it seems like I can't add them to the seat tube (or, in my desired case, offset them rearward from the seat tube).

Additionally, is there an option somewhere to attach the bottom of the rack at a different point along the seat stay?

If there isn't a way to this, I would love to see this implemented at some point down the road.

I appreciate your feedback?

I tried to install v. 18, and got the "cant create jvm" error.

Should I delete the BikeCAD 13 folder?

I installed a new version of Java and still get the error. I also get it with V13, which had previously been running fine.

Windows really didn't want me to install it, I'm not sure if they are keeping it from running or not.

Is there a way to get point to point dimensions?

Hi,

does anyone know if there is an option to see the fork crown clearance in regards to tire and fender? I know abou the "fork crown clearance" button in the fork dimension dialog box, but this doesn't show the tire or fender. but couldn't find anything

I use the stays auxillary view to see this for the rear triangle, but missing this option for the fork.

If this option doesn't exist, I think it would be a very helpful feature. ;)

thanks,

Dan

Hi there,

I just found out about the new cargobike option in version 18.0 off BikeCAD. I'm currently planing a cargobike and therefore it would be ideal, to have BikeCAD as support. I couldn't find the new version yet, so I'm a bit curious when it will be released?

Big up and thank your for this great feature!

All the best,

Quirin!

Is there a way to save each dimension set and transfer them to the new updated versions of BikeCAD? It's kind of a pain to have to go through and re-select each dimension/measurement everytime there is an update.

Thanks.

How (or can) the reference point for measuring the position of watter bottle drillings (to be used for a direct mount top tube bag in this case) be changed to reference the headtube delta instead of from the seat post? Similarly, when a cage is positioned, can it's direction be reversed (eg to "point" in the other direction for instance for the top of the bottle to be positioned facing the seat tube or vice versa when there's the bottle cage on the top of the top tube.

Hi All,

Not sure if this is addressed in a thread.

Just looking to find out how to recreate the Paragon flanged dropouts:

The specs are here.

Hi all,

Is there any way to fix the dimensions of the frame and look at how different fork geomety affects frame angles and trail, etc. My particular interest is in looking at HTA and trail based on fork ATC or offset changes, but probably could also be applied to suspension.

Is this a feature anywhere? Or a way to hack it?
