If you've got a question about using BikeCAD Pro, the stand alone application for frame builders, bike shops and fit specialists, post it here.
I'm not sure if it is possible somehow, but unfortunately I couldn't find any way to take a kickstand into account. I wanna build a bike with a two-legged stand, therefore I wanted to check the chainstay length, tire clearence, crank clearence etc. Is there some workaround to do this?
Thanks,
Quirin.
Hi fellow bike builders
Hi,
I recently purchased BikeCAD Pro to design my first frame and found the learning curve very manageble. This is a great piece of software!
When trying to add the dropouts I´d like to use I ran into a bit of an issue. The DR2075 as listed in BikeCAD looks nothing like that dropout as shown on Paragon's website (https://www.paragonmachineworks.com/dropouts/sram-udh/sram-full-mount-udh-round-rear-dropout-integrated-160-180-flat-mount-choose-material-style.html).

Hello
Hi there,
I've had this issue before with trying to get a stack/reach, front centre/head tube and wheelbase to all add up on a Ribble.
This time it's a Ribble Endurance SL Disc sport size medium (and large) https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ribble-endurance-sl-disc-sport/?colour=red
The only way I can get the stack and reach to make sense with the rest of the bike is to reduce the fork length AC to 353. This didn't feel right so I called their helpline and someone went and measured it for me at 380.
Hey Brent,
I'm running into a strange issue. If I set up a bike the way I want it, with "stock" components that I've created myself (fork, h-bar, stem, crank) and I save the file, quit and re-open it, the stock components switch to something different. You'll also notice that some of the dims placement switch (e.g. wheelbase)
Below are screen shots of how I just saved the file and what it looks like when i re-open it.
Image with 418 A-C is what I've designed. Image with 367 A-C is what opens up again.
