BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

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.

Hi

New user of BikeCAD Pro building my 2nd frame, my first frame was built using Coumbus Zona and lugs. My frame building knowledge is very low, so i decided to purchase a set of Columbus Max tubing and to try and build my first fillet brazed frame, which will have a 50mm x68mm bb, 44mm x 170mm head tube and the Allotec c64 dropouts, i will also extend the seattub and headtube (like the Edwig Van Hooydonck Colnago frame)

I am building a my first unicrown fork.

>>Has anyone figured out a workaround for creating a mitering template such that the fork blades are slanted to create 65 mm rake?

Thanks Eric

Hi there,

I am running BikeCAD Pro 18 and when I search open design from BikeCAD file, it doesn't allow me to open folders. I never had this issue with my apple laptop, but with the mac it's been an issue since the begining and I'm fed up with it now. Sometimes it opens and sometimes it doesn't. I have to try to open it, come out, go back in and try to open it, then go back in and then eventually, sometimes it will open. I'm running 2022 apple M1 MAX and BikeCAD 18. Any help appreciated. I would habe thought bugs would have been ironed out by now.

Cheers!

Hi Brent,

When viewing the seat stays at the dropouts in the auxiliary view, the "edge to edge at rear" dimension gives a value higher (177) than what I'm getting when placing the stays on the dropouts in my frame jig (~167). I use this dimension to set up my seat stay mitering fixture. I believe this inconsistency is causing a small problem with the calculated miter angles on both ends of the stays.

Hi,

I'm trying to model a Ribble CGR AL size S for a client, to see if he should choose a S or M

I've entered all the data I can find online about the bike from Ribble and geometry geeks. I can't get the wheelbase to match up. Where am I going wrong?

Brent,

Just having a play with the new features, and finding it really intresting.

With the weight part, can you please add a material selection option? Though it may already be there, and I havn't found it yet

Thnaks,

Chris

Hi,

I am having a problem with modelling a handlebar based on the sweep and rise figures in degrees. Am I missing something? If so, is there a solvent less damaging that acetone?

sorry if this has been dealt with somewhere,

Mathias

hello, is there a way to do full suspension for mtb?

-thank you
