Craftworx Carbon on Kickstarter

BRISBANE, Australia - June 3, 2016 - PRLog -- We could have taken the easy road, chosen one of the many carbon wheel manufacturers out there and had wheels ready to roll in a matter of months, but that is not our way.

The Craftworx brand is synonymous with quality, performance and value, so it was a given that our Carbon Road Wheels would uphold our three core values.

We started off by researching what was already out there in the market and three things became obvious very early on.

1. The market is flooded with average quality carbon wheels.

2. Most of the carbon wheels were not as good as our alloy wheels.

3. The wheels that were good were crazy expensive!

Our expertise and experience at that time was in Alloy technologies, so we set ourselves the task of learning about and understanding Carbon manufacturing processes and materials. The goal wasn't to become experts, that would take years. What we needed to do was increase our knowledge and understanding to a level where we would be capable of finding the right manufacturer to partner ourselves with for this project.

During a trip to Interbike Steven and I had a chance meeting with Joseph. We liked Joseph from the start, he's a great guy, and the more we talked, the more certain we were; we had found the right guy for the job. Joseph's factories have been exclusively molding carbon products, both in and outside of the bike industry, for the better part of 30 years. Joseph was one of the original pioneers of carbon manufacturing in the sporting industry. His facilities are state of the art; the quality and attention to detail, second to none.

When we met Joseph, we already had solid idea of the rim designs we wanted to trial, so we immediately set to the task of producing and testing prototypes.

For the last 6 months we have been road testing these wheels, tuning and balancing the riding dynamics and responsiveness to the point where we are now ready to start production.

We're seriously impressed with the end result and we know you will be too.
