BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hey Brent,

There's some stuff in BikeCAD that I will just never use (e.g. Campy Cranks from the dropdown or 20x1.75" mag wheels) in BikeCAD. You've made it pretty easy to remove these by going to View > Customize > Manage Components and Templates. That's super awesome and helpful for a cluttered brain.

I was hoping to do the same thing with the static drawing dropouts but I'm unable to figure this one out. Is there a way? BikeCAD Version 18. MacOS 12.6

Thanks

Hello all,

Anyone know how I would adjust the chainstay inside angle? Can't figure it out or find in the forum. Thanks in advance!

Is there anyway to change the anatomy of the second rider (stoker) in a tandem? When I change the rider anatomy it defaults to updating the front (captain) rider. I'm not sure how to specify I would like to change the stoker.

Hello does BCP have a simple printable tool to print the chainstay to BB diagram? I want to use the BikeCAD plan to just see the placement of my chainstay miters.

thanks!

I started a file in BikeCAD 17.5, and am finishing the design in BikeCAD 18.

After adding the 2 x yoke option (Cobra Sidewinder v9), the Z and S dimensions in the chain stays auxiliary views appear offset from the actual chain stay ends.

On the main frame view the yokes appear disconnected from the BB shell unless I tweak the F dimension to -1mm.

When I add the same yoke setup to the default bike loaded upon staring BikeCAD 18, everything looks fine.

Might I have accidentally tweaked some setting to get these dimensions showing up out of place?

Hi,

I'd like to make my road bike design look more like a gravel bike. How can i change the tires so they look more like gnarly gravel tires?

Also, I find it difficult to find related stuff in the how to listing. Even when I use the search (in this case I typed "tires", i often don't find what I am looking for. Just letting you know.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi Brent

I was wondering how one would model in flat plate bb yokes?? single and double sided?? with the update I see some rad options.. but I am making my own from flat stock chromo

Hey Brent,

Is there a way to adjust the braze-on locations for a rear rack?

I see that there is an option to move the top braze-ons along the seat stay but it seems like I can't add them to the seat tube (or, in my desired case, offset them rearward from the seat tube).

Additionally, is there an option somewhere to attach the bottom of the rack at a different point along the seat stay?

If there isn't a way to this, I would love to see this implemented at some point down the road.

I appreciate your feedback?

I tried to install v. 18, and got the "cant create jvm" error.

Should I delete the BikeCAD 13 folder?

I installed a new version of Java and still get the error. I also get it with V13, which had previously been running fine.

Windows really didn't want me to install it, I'm not sure if they are keeping it from running or not.

Is there a way to get point to point dimensions?
