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 bringing our little corner of the internet to a few dozen people every now and then. We struggled a few times to keep things consistent, and following recent relationship breakdowns, I need to leave that little corner and focus on the rest of the room.

To round out the last few uploads of Prime Ratio, I've chopped up the most recent recording from April with my old friend Manning. We chat old cycling culture, overlaps, non conformity, and commitment issues.

Stay tuned for part 2

Please enjoy

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 use on them.

Hopefully see you soon.

Enjoy

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.

Hello all. Welcome back to Prime Ratio.

This week, we're hitting the ground of 2026, and figuring out if we need to start running yet.

Felix summarises the last few months of travel, events and some personal struggles.

Prime Ratio is back onto being posted on Sunday Mornings, so you can unwind from the past week, or ramp up for the upcoming week.

This one's a little rough, I'll be honest, but the volumes there, and I'm real happy with the audio quality. Clearly stepping it up to another level.

Thanks for listening. Catch next week.

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 half, we talk Rivets, knives, business and some old haunts.

Check out 'Fixed Gear Melbourne' on Facebook. Weekly group rides on Monday Nights, Friday debriefs and Alleycats happening on the regular.

Thanks to everyone for sticking with me through what has been an incredbly hard time. I'm working on a solo episode to give you all the full story, as well as focusing a lot of energy on improving my self image, adopting healthier habits, and having more positive thoughts.

I appreciate all of you
