Prime Ratio

Hi all, yes it's true, after a little over 2 years, 42 uploads and a lot of thought, Prime Ratio is coming to an end. Recent life direction and personal priorities have changed in such a way that it's no longer possible to create the authentic commentary on the Melbourne cycling community. To attempt to do so, in my opinion, would be a disservice to the original purpose Alex and I had in b...

Welcome in all. I'll be honest, I wasn't 100% feeling it today, but I figured I'd feel worse if I didn't post something this week. This week, I shine a lil light on a YouTube video I watched and was inspired to talk about. FOAD Gang has started posting a series of videos on fixed gear drivetrain parts. This morning they posted about track lockrings, their variations and tools to us...

Welcome back once again, and once again apologies for the late upload. Life has been throwing a lot at me recently, and I'monly just now geting on top of it all. This is a long one, but well worth a listen. I appreciate you all for sticking with me. This week, I had Jackson come on for a chat about his experiaence in the bike industry, Working on our own bikes, 10 year plans and more. Trek Bik...

Hi all, I'm back with a little update on what's been happening with me, the podcast, the shop and beyond.

Hi all, my apologies. I'vve had a hell of a week, and could only just get this episode out more or less unedited. I'll change the description and titles when I'm back from CMWC Sydney

Welcome back to Prime Ratio After a bit of a mental health break, Im back with the first of a 2 part installment. To kick off the new season, I snag some downtime with Andrew 'Patches' Lucas, one of the old guard in the Fixed Gear Melbourne community. As expected, things went very off topic, so I've split this one into 2 parts, the second of which will come out on Noember 17th. In this...

Hi friends, welcome back in to another episode of Prime Ratio. This week, Alex is back! As a guest this time. We recorded late, so just decided to wing it, and as (somewhat) expected, we kept the banter going pretty much as long as the old 3 person episodes.

Hello! Welcome in to Part 1 of this episode of Prime Ratio.
