#FTSIGR – F This Shit I'm Going Riding! - 11th July 2025
"Comfort zones are speed limits - You know you have t break them."
Where We’ll Be Unbound
We may be thick in the midst of Australia’s brutal winter (think crisp sun and 7° mornings) – but one of the crew is about to get his soul glow on. Robbie’s ditching Sydney for two weeks of humidity, mind-bending curried laksa, and the kind of rides that make your chamois question your life choices. Singapore and Malaysian countryside, brace yourselves – the 2/10 winter form is in for a rude shock.
Where We Were Unbound
Weekend warriors turned midnight masochists: some of you watched the Tour de France until 1 am, couldn’t sleep from the buzz, then still showed up at dawn for the bunch ride. Legends. This is what #FTSIGR is all about – showing up tired, showing up anyway.
Gear We Love
Maxxis High Road SL Tyres – First Impressions
Soft, grippy, and nearly unflappable, these 28mm slicks have been making Robbie’s rides feel smoother than a disco groove. Durability? Jury’s still out – but first impressions are promising.
🎧 DJ Robbie’s Track of the Week
This week’s playlist comes straight from Madonna’s favourite ‘80s roller disco. Think glitter, knee pads, and more disco powder than Darryl Hall’s moustache.
🔥 Blaze Says
If you’re wondering whether to ride or not when the weather looks a bit dodgy – you already know the answer. Get your sorry arse out the door and remember, 'there no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing'
Bike Czech Tips and Tricks
🧼 Maintenance Tip of the Week – Degreaser
Not all cleaners are created equal. A degreaser is your best friend – if you use it right:
- ✅ Cassette
- ✅ Derailleur
- ✅ Chain
- ❌ Frame, tires, or seals? Better avoid it – degreasers can damage paint, rubber, or bearings.
In our workshop, we use heavy-duty degreasers with precision – just where it's needed. At home, a gentle version and a rag go a long way.
💡 Pro Tip: Always re-lube your chain after degreasing – don’t leave it dry or you'll speed up wear and risk rust.
🔄 Want it done right? Book a cleaning service with us – your drivetrain will thank you.

“Watched the Tour de France stage until 1 am and was absolutely buzzing. Couldn’t sleep for ages. Alarm went off for the bunch ride – felt wrecked – but went FTSIGR and dragged my sorry ass out of bed.”
Legendary energy.
