We miss it already. @craftedbikeshow gave us great rides, great people, and great weather. Now we just want to go back.

Also the “Rek” backwards bike will be back next year, but in 32”😂 by @craftedbikeshow

When we heard that @canecreekusa was hosting a bicycle and gear show at their headquarters this summer, we were quick to sign up. Nestled in beautiful public lands and national forest, the Asheville, NC area is full of opportunity for great bikepacking trips and riding and the folks in the area really cherish their time in the unique ecosystems nearby. With the recent talk of repealing the Roadless Rule across federally owned public lands, Asheville outdoors enthusiasts are among the many standing up to voice their opposition - and we loved hearing about it during the inaugural Crafted.⁠
⁠
We were excited to reconnect with so many great orgs and makers in person, and met so many new friends there as well while we talked bikepacking, bike-raftpacking, routes, gear libraries, community support and more. ⁠
⁠
For our two days on site, we ran a fun and quick survey to ask attendees to pick their ideal campsite - and had a great mix of answers! In the end, more folks dream about sleeping up in the heights of a fire tower but the closest runner up was in a fern gully by the river - a photo taken beside the Greenbrier River in West Virginia. ⁠
⁠
Thank you for coming by, saying HELLO👋 and talking about all the ways you love experiencing and connecting with the terrain and ecosystems around you. Asheville is certainly a special place, and we were honored to be surrounded by so many incredible other local manufacturers and organizations working to expand access to the amazing riding in the region!⁠

Let's do it again next year!⁠ by @craftedbikeshow

The Blackwater Splitfire 32.

Built around 32-inch wheels and designed to push the Splitfire concept a little further.

This prototype features sliding dropouts, an elevated chainstay, and clearance for massive 32 × 2.4" tires. The sliding rear end gives us room to experiment with chainstay length and handling as we continue developing the 32" platform.

This build was put together for the CRAFTED Bike Show at Cane Creek and features:

• Gulo Composites 32" Wheels with Carbon Spokes (1370 grams)
• Prototype Marginal Gain Self-aligning Chainring
• Silca 32 × 2.4" Protocol RCG3 Tires and Ti Cages
• ENVE Rigid Boost Mountain Fork
• ENVE AR Handlebars
• Cane Creek eeWings Titanium Crankset
• Cane Creek HCR stem and Headset
• SRAM XO/Rival Drivetrain and Brakes
• Ergon SM Saddle
• Wolftooth Seatpost Clamp 34.9
• Ciclovation Bar Wrap

The goal wasn't simply to fit bigger wheels into a bike—it was to build the frame around them and explore what a purpose-built 32" titanium bike can do.
More testing to come.

Each of these stands alone in their own right. We have 12 Limited Edition ~Artist Series~ Helm MKII.

Each different, each with their own personality.

Which one is your favorite?
☠️ Skeleton Leaves?
🟩 Seeing Green?
🌺 Sakura-Fubuki?
🌻 Rudbeckia?
🌼 Oxeye Daisy?
🗽 New York Aster?
🌹 Friendship to Romance?
📐 Angular Topography?
⛰️ Contour Intervals?
😱 Nervous System?
⭐️ Sea Star?

Ride it or frame it. The choice is yours, but they're truly works of art. With adjuster knobs and hose clamps to match the personalities, we gave them some extra flare!

What a weekend at the @craftedbikeshow!

Hosted at Cane Creek, Crafted brought together builders, makers, riders, brands, and bike lovers from across the Southeast to celebrate the creativity and community behind cycling.

The cyclocross race added to the fun with tight turns, a great crowd, and plenty to watch with good vibes.

We loved seeing @canecreekusa, @libertybikesavl, and @dailycycleavl, a few of our awesome sponsors, alongside so many other great businesses and organizations… including maybe a few future sponsors? 😉

And of course, a few Pisgah Rage folks were out there too. Can you spot them?

Good food, good music, good racing, and easy, fun bike-community vibes all around. Being part of this community means so much to us.

Way to go on an awesome Crafted!

Really enjoyed going to @craftedbikeshow this weekend! I volunteered for @dirtskrrts to tell more ladies how awesome of an organization it is. All of the vendors were so cool! Then, I got a chainring tattoo from @__bad.idea__ - my first outdoor tattoo!! ⚙️ 🚲🚵 can’t wait for another Crafted next year! taken in Cane Creek Cycling Components by @craftedbikeshow

This year I got to celebrate my birthday in the best way. WNC came together and raised funds to build an adaptive mountain bike for one of our local @catalyst_sports community members. With the help of @canecreekusa we brought to life this beautiful @project.mjolnir.nyu during @craftedbikeshow where I had the privilege to present it to our great friend Josh. I am beyond stoked that he will get to ride bikes with his daughter and help her progress as a mountain biker just as he is doing with us @catalystsports_asheville

Huge thanks to our sponsors!

The real VIPs of CRAFTED. 🐶

A few of the very good dogs who came out to inspect the bikes, meet the makers, and make sure everything was running smoothly this weekend.

10/10. No notes. Can we hit the trails now?
