IN-TENSION SPOKE TECHNOLOGY
Partington spokes are produced using a highly-guarded, proprietary manufacturing process. 108,000 continuous filaments carry the tension of the spoke as it exits the rim, wraps around the hub, and terminates back at the rim – maintaining load throughout, and minimizing stresses at the spoke to hub junction.

DYNAMIC BEARING ARCHITECTURE
Conventional wheels use bearing arrangements that are often subjected to adverse loads due to use conditions and/or installation arrangements that slow the wheel down. partington uses a ‘floating’ bearing architecture to ensure there are sufficient degrees of freedom such that loads transferred internal to the bearing are minimized and idealized.

COMPOSITE WHEEL SYSTEM
A high-performance wheel is a system of components that are designed in unison, highly integrated and optimized to work together. Partington's proprietary manufacturing methods provide an Integrated Wheel System to produce the world's best performing wheelset.

THE FOUNDER
partington is a product of founder Jon Partington’s passion for cycling, engineering curiosity and persistent belief that things can be done better. The first ideas were conceived and prototyped in a small garage in Torquay, Australia, before migrating next to a purpose-built carbon fibre research facility called Carbon Nexus at Deakin University in Geelong, Australia.
THE PROCESS
partington works with a network of trusted resellers and high-end bespoke frame builders that demand the best.
From prototyping, process and tooling design-development, all the way through to testing, validation and manufacture - Every component is designed and delivered under one roof in Geelong, Australia.
