Bloody hell
AUS$6900, made in Melbourne, at current exchange rates that’s NZ$7500 plus import costs so that NZ$8k+
They need to be amazing, I paid NZ$2k for Caden wheels, weight sub 1100g, also made in Oz

From the information I think the rims are made in Taiwan
DeCadence, lighter more expensive version, hubs made in Germany
Caden hubs, regular wheels, made in Taiwan

Is there any Partington wheels owners that can help to provide some long term usage feedback? Per the Partington wheel product manual:
The sidewalls of the rim are of highly-ordered carbon fibre, but very thin (~0.2mm at its thinnest) and supported by a structural foam material. Although most effective for its intended application, is susceptible to point loads and contact damage.
I'm a little concern about the thin side wall of 0.2mm at its thinnnest. What if there is flying gravels on the road that hits the sidewalls? Would it cracks the sidewall?

For any potential Partington wheel future owner, please note that the Partington wheel uses DT Swiss end caps, the front wheel is not compatible with lock ring that uses cassette tool to lock down. It has to use the lock ring that locks down with bottom bracket tool, like Shimano M8010 Centerlock Lockring.
