BikeCAD How To

When selecting V-Brakes BikeCad places them at an abitrary distance from the wheel axle (dimension D) which means that you have to put in this value. Does anyone have a list  of D values for different wheel sizes, specifically for 26" (559) but others would be good to have. Thanks

Hi

I'm using a Mac and Bike Cad Online (Free Version). I only see a handful of fonts (deja vu, dialog, monospaced, serif, sans serif, serif and the BikeSymbols) but not the many, many I have available in Word etc - Can you advise me what to do?

Cheers

Hi,

I'm new to bikecad. Just wondering if it is possible to remove the BB completely for a 12" balance bike design?

I've looked at the how to section and couldn't find anything.

Also such an awesome product and will definatley be looking to purchase.

Cheers

How do I open the Stays Auxiliary View on the onlive version?

Hi

I am using the BikeCAD to run some numbers on a project to turn a 27.5 mountain bike into a mullet with a 29 inch wheel in the front.

I noticied when I added a 29inch wheel to the front from 27.5 none of the numbers altered on the frame dimensions ? I was looking for a change in Head Tube Angle, where would I see this ?

Where do you input wheelbase ?

Thanks

Hi there,

I'm trying to adjust the top tube of my bike. I'm following the Step through frame video (https://www.bikecad.ca/step_through_frame) but when I click on the "extension icon" nothing happens, I can't change the parameter that it controls. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi Brent, 

I would like to know how to put a shock onto my bikes.

If you wouldn't mind, could reply to this 

Thanks,

Hi. I'm new here. Mainly interested in designing a couple of components rather than a whole bike or frameset. Are there design files that have a standard downtube shifter boss in them? (with the actual rounded rectangle shape) I am trying to design a shifter mount to be 3D printed (sintered) from aluminum. Trying to come up with something similar to the old WTB Multimount shifter adaptors but made to adapt downtube shifters instead of thumbshifters like the originals were made for.
