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

Miter template for non-round, non-aero, non-oval tubing

BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi folks

I wonder how i have to enter data in the tubing-size section in order to create a mitering template for tubing which is neither round nor oval, like for exeple some Columbus and Deda tubes.

Concretely i'm working on one of the Spirit top tubes which is kind of oval, but with a flat top and sides. The diameter is given as 31.7mm, dimensions are 33.5x28mm.

thanks in advance for your heip

Standover to the top of mixte seat stays

I am designing a bike with seat stays that attach at the head tube. The program is giving me a standover to the top of the top tube, but this is below the seat stays. Is there any way to get a measurement to the highest point on the frame, i.e., to the top of the seat stays?

Through-axles?

I'm wanting to use through-axles on my design (either 142x12 / 100x15mm or the latest Boost configuration), but I don't see it available anywhere.
Is there a way to do this? If not, is it planned to be added? If it's been addressed before, I couldn't find any info about it! :)

Thanks-Colin

Two things I can't seem to get rid of

I've adjusted the chain ring size to (46) and (30) for a double, however it appears there are chain rings on the non drive side of original (53/39) size. I'm sure there's an easy way to get rid of that but I can't seem to figure it out.

The second thing I'm having an issue with getting rid of are the original STI shifters. I've "included tektro brake levers" and I've changed the shifters to downtube but the original brifters have not seemed to go away.

Thanks in advance.

Ryan

In a prior version of BikeCAD, I believe it was possible to alter the angle/shape of the top of the seat tube.

(I originally posted this in the free version on accident)
