BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Is there a quick check available to ensure that the wheel/tire combo does not contact the downtube under full fork compression?

Hi Brent,

I saw the topic have been discussed few years ago. Have you consider the possibilty to draw truss forks (like jones bikes) on BikeCAD?

It would be very nice to have the possibility to draw the whole bike with truss forks on BikeCAD.

Thanks

Louis

Hi,

I can't export my design on my laptop (PC)?

I have an error : "Fri Sep 03 14:23:47 CEST 2021 :: SVG2PDF Error 1 java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Desktopelo_remi.pdf (Accès refusé)"

Thanks for your help.

Does anybody know what means the red line marked value on the gearing graph?

Hey Brent, how are you? Lucas and Matías here, Lucas writing. Hope you are doing well. First of all, thank you very much for such awesome software you created. It was the second tool we bought back in 2015, just after our little hobbyist mill and it is essential in our design process. We are writing this topic because we want to ask you about embedding BikeCAD on our website. In October we are planning to launch our first noncustom frameset. A gravel frameset in three sizes and we think that the web version of BikeCAD can be very useful for us and the potential clients.

Hey Brent,

First off, I'm loving V17. Thanks for your continued support/updates/etc.

Second, a few days ago I didn't have access to BikeCAD but I had a bit of an idea so I drew something up in Fusion360. When I went back to BikeCAD to figure the rest of stuff out, I noticed what I think is a descrepancy (or a gap in my knowledge).

Hi, Brent - I was just noticing that when I updated from v15 to v17.1 (thanks!) my custom configurations from v15 did not carry over, as they have during previous updates. Version 15 config folder is still intact, and I can run v15. I'm running OS X Big Sur. (I searched Forum to see if this Q had been previously addressed). Thanks as always, JF

I've started using the miter templates lately and have noticed that all of them don't actually wrap the tube fully. There is always a gap either on the underside or top of the tube. I have also noticed that some reference the Top and some reference the Bottom in the middle of the template cut out.

Is there a way to allow them to all be set to start at the top of the tube rather then the bottom?

I understand that the W3 measurement goes from the BB center to the large chainring; but why, when the CL value is actually derived from the center or middle of the two chainrings on the crank or from the single chainring when using 1x?

So as an example: I have a double crankset that has a CL of 45.5. There is 8mm spacing between the two chainrings. So then would I set W3 to 49.5?

What about with a 1x crankset that has the same CL of 45.5? Would W3 remain at 45.5?

Using Paragon DR1102 dropouts as my selection, the chainstay view and dimensions show the chainstays as being idenical in length even though the drops are asymetric with the DS shorter than the NDS. I have slected asymetric in the chainstay options. What am I missing?

Thanks!
