BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Can BikeCAD help me determine the distanse from the center of (frame-plan) the seattube to the braze-on/frontderailleur bolt mounting?

Or is there a simple trick to calculate this? In my case I use a shimano ultegra with a 43.5mm chainline and I need to know how far from the center of the frame-plan I have to intall the front derailleur braze-on bolt hole. A qualified guess is 25.0mm but it would be nice to know how to do this calculation incase the chainline changes.(diffrent crankset)

I try to fit an I.S mount for a 140mm Disc rotor on seat stay , but no standard library for 140mm (only for 160 and 180mm).

I can see that the dimentions (G and E) are not changeing when toggling between 160 and 180mm rotor disc.

Will this also be the case with a 140mm rotor? The I.S mount is the same , but you change the IS to post adaptor?

Hi there,

As a little project for myself to try and get the hang of using BikeCAD Pro, I found a bike I like the look of and got all its available dimensions as seen in the attached picture. I'm wanting to practice drawing up, but on some dimensions when I put it in alters some others! So how can I stop that happening? Also is there away of altering the the dimensions from the drawing screen rather than the primary dimensions box?

Your help will be most appreciated.

Thank you

Darren

I could swear I once could show the clearance dimension between the rear tire and the stays, but I can't find how to toggle that dimension again!

Thanks

Alex

How do you get the standard / ghost bike to not display after I have adjusted the frame sizing?

Hi

I'm having a hard time working with BikeCAD Pro on my laptop. With 2160x1440 on a 12" screen all icons are way too tiny. How do I increase icon size by 2?

Hi

I'm working with BikeCAD Pro on my laptop which is connected to an external screen half of the time. At some point I must have moved the "Display" window onto the secondary screen and today, with only the primary screen available, "Display" didn't appear.

I figured out that by changing

<entry key="LocY DISPLAY">1662</entry>

in dialogs1.xml to

<entry key="LocY DISPLAY">162</entry>

Hi. Does anyone know if it is possible within BikeCAD to fix the frame dimensions so that when the fork length is changed the bike will pivot around its rear axle? I would like to find out how a frame whose dimensions I know with a long fork on it would be affected with by a shorter fork (i.e. what would the new head angle, bottom bracket drop, etc now be). I've tried a few different things, but every time I change the fork length the frames dimensions change to compensate. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Brent,

It is possible to extend BikeCAD for Cantilever Bridges?

The usual dropout dialog box is blank and there is no dropout option in Tandem dialog box. Is there a way of choosing dropouts for a tandem design in the same way as for a single bike?

What am I missing?

Cheers
