BikeCAD How To

If you've got a question about using the free online version of BikeCAD, post it here.

Is there an easy way to simulate installing an angleset (angled headset)?

I'd like to view the effects of installing an angleset (angled head set) on my bike to see what is does to the trail and other measurements and don't see a way to do this.  Since head tube angle is part of the frame dimensions, I can't lock the frame as I would if I was adding a different fork.  If I unlock the frame and change the head angle, it causes the head tube length and probably other frame dimensions to change based on my entered stock reach and stack heights.

Thanks for any suggestions or future features!

Download BikeCAD file from free version to view in Pro

If someone has made a BikeCAD drawing in the free version, say the following: Trek Madone RSL http://www.bikecad.ca/1460232225953 Is it possible to download that as a BikeCAD file then email that to be opened by someone who uses the Pro Version? There is a "Download BikeCAD file" tab but when selected, simply stated the below, note below not complete.

My Chain Broke!

Hi all,

In my design, http://www.bikecad.ca/1459607072404, if I select one of these drivetrain gear combos:

Chainring 1, Cog 7
Chainring 2, Cog 2
Chainring 2, Cog 8

...my chain snaps!  Seemingly only in these gears with no extra links.  If I put in an extra link, different gear combos snap the chain.  Easiest to see if you choose not to display the crank.  Wierd.  Can anyone suggest why this might be?

Thank you very much for free bikeCAD, I love it.

Best, Benjamin

Invalid Key message when saving

Hello Brent,

awesome tool you have made. I've taking up fiddling with bike geometry again but runnig into a problem.

 

When I try to save a design online I made with the free version, it says Invalid key (with a time stamp). I'm not sure what's going wrong (I am logged in). Few years back I was able to do this just fine.

 

Any help much appreciated.

 

Regards,

Camille
