How Curiosity Fuels Precision
SchGo founder Yong Goh doesn’t just ride his bike for exercise, he rides with intention. At SchGo Engineering, we’ve always admired how curiosity powers real precision, and for Yong, that curiosity starts the moment he hops on two wheels. As he shifts gears to climb a hill, he can’t help but notice how seamlessly the derailleur guides the chain, how the tension adjusts just right, how small changes in gear ratio impact every pedal stroke. While most cyclists enjoy the breeze and the burn, Yong is thinking about mechanics, torque, and balance. That’s the engineer’s mindset.
Curiosity That Drives Precision
Engineers don’t just build – they observe, ask questions, and look for ways to make things work better. Yong’s mind is always in motion, whether he’s on two wheels or at the machine shop. He sees the world through a lens of curiosity: how something moves, how it fits together, how a single misalignment can throw the whole system off.
At SchGo, this mindset shapes every project. We look beyond the blueprint. We want to understand what the part is doing, how it interacts with the bigger picture, and what details will make it perform flawlessly.
From Gears to Greatness
Shifting gears on a bike may seem like a small action, but it relies on a series of precise mechanical interactions: cable tension, gear alignment, and material response. That kind of precision is what we replicate at SchGo every day.
Whether we’re adjusting CNC tool paths or selecting the ideal machining process, we treat every adjustment like it matters – because it does. Just like a well-tuned bike improves the ride, a well-machined part improves the entire system it supports.
Applying the Engineer’s Mindset at SchGo
Curiosity isn’t a step in our process, it is the process. We ask the same questions Yong asks on his rides: Can this move better? Can it be smoother? Is there a more efficient way?
- We rethink specs when the client’s needs evolve.
- We refine tolerances to reduce friction or improve fit.
- We test materials to balance strength and weight.
And when we find a better way, we don’t hesitate to pursue it. That’s the engineer’s mindset in action.
More Than Just Machining
Whether it’s the precision of a gear shift or the clean cut of a machined part, success lies in the details. Yong rides with curiosity and focus, and that same drive fuels how SchGo tackles every project.
At SchGo, we don’t just make parts. We explore, adjust, and innovate, because behind every flawless product is a team that asked, “How can we make this better?”
