BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi - How do you Model sloped Fork Crowns to get the proper Dimensions? For instance A 7 Degree Sloped Crown and 45 degree Raked Fork Blades should be about 70mm of effective rake. There doesn't seem to be a way of doing this except for putting in a fork with 70mm of rake and doing the math yourself.

There is the Angle Dimension Box you can change but it doesn't seem to do much.

I´m working on a MTB design

the bike is intended to Trail and XC main use

It fits a suspension that can move from 80-100-120 and 140 and of course the AC lenght is modified with every travel

I would like to design the bike with a certain travel and lock the geometry to see how the AC lenght changes the HT/ST angle as well the BB height

can this be done??

thank you

i've been using pro for about 18 months with no issues, today when i try and export a design to pdf it comes up a with a java error, i've updated Java but still the same issue. Any ideas anyone?

Brent,

In another thread I asked about raising the 2nd SS up from the drop out on a Mixte frame. I got that figured out.

I'm noticing a weird behavior in Ver 14 that I just can't figure out:

I am having trouble creating mitering templates. When I click "Save" on the dialogue box, BikeCAD Pro hangs on me--all of the menu options stop working, i.e., I click on the ribbon items and nothing happens. Unfortunately, I have updated several things since this last worked for me, including the new version of BikeCAD and a new Java build. I have tried rebooting, and that did not change the application's behavior. Here's my setup:

macOS 10.13.6 "High Sierra"

Java 8 build 191

BikeCAD Pro v14.0

Has anyone else noticed this?

How do I slope the toptube with an effective seattube length of 58 c-c. When I set the slope on the toptube it changes the headtube length. Is it possible to change that so it alters the seattube length?

there is someway to get a mitter template of a SS-ST-TT cluster like this one?

I have been doing some tests but no template obtained beyond the ST point

thanks!

I installed the BikeCAD 64bit Version on a Windows 7 System. It works fine, for the first time after the install. I saved the bike I worked on. Shutted the program afterwards.

Next time, I look in the folder I saved the file in. No file there. Explorer is not showing it, but Explorer says there should be a file in the folder.....

Tried to find the installed program, nothing in th start menu, searching for it, it is installed in a root folder, I'm not able to start the .exe file.

I'm puzzled what happened.

Best

Hi,

I'm new to BikeCAD Pro and I am trying to put in measurements of an existing frame.

When I put the data in everything works fine except that I can't control the head tube length AND stack & reach.

So the frame I built is never 100% the one I see on the page of TREK or canyon for example.

I hope someone can help me,

thanks in advance!

Hi,

I just downloaded the newest version of BikeCAD, but was disapointed to see the same options for standard wheel sizes for MTB bikes. Maybe I'm missing someting, but with the explosion of bikes being built around 29er plus, and 27.5 x 3.0 I would have expected to see these in the standards. Also rear axle spacing has moved way beyond 135mm on many bikes, some updated standards there would be nice.

thanks
