How To Install A Gyro Bmx
A noob guide to detanglers
Being equally how the trend is brakeless, setting upwardly brakes is a lost art. Add to that the defoliation of a detangler and information technology can be a headache, and so I thought I'd post up a "how to".
What you need:
1. Brake lever and upper cable... I recommend the Odyssey M2 lever. Information technology's designed specifically for running a dual upper detangler cable (included with purchase).
If you are using any other lever (designed to run a single cable) you take 2 options.
A) A split cable with a junction. 
This design hooks up to the lever like a regular single cable.
or 
The Snafu Astroglide upper detangler cable (recommended) 
This design connects to the lever the same as a regular cable, but it has a second cable that runs outside the lever and barrel adjuster and a metal piece that goes into the butt adjuster at the stop of the lever as a terminate for both cables.[LINK TO IMAGE]
2. Upper gyro plate. In that location are a few different brands of these all fabricated to work with a specific stalk, but just purchase the cheapest one and flip it upside downward if it doesn't fit with your stem.
3. Detangler. I run the Snafu Mobeus 
Another selection is the Odyssey GTX-R (notation: includes upper AND lower gyro plate... if your frame isn't pre-drilled for gyro tabs you will need the lower plate) 
4. Lower gyro tabs (for pre-drilled frames) At that place are 2 types of these... 1 that works with Fly, T1, Failure, & Proper frames(pictured) and i that works with all other frames, so exist sure to go the right tabs. 
5. Lower detangler cable. I recommend a dual cable prepare up using a London Mod made by Odyssey 
Yous will need a specific cable made for gyros because they take smaller knarps. SST - Oryg makes this one... 
Or at that place is this one made by Snafu that includes their own version of the London Modern (although Odyssey's is beefier and better IMO) 
At the brake you connect a seperate cable to each arm. 
Again you lot accept the pick to run the separate cable with the junction... this connects to the brake the aforementioned way a single cable would using a brake hanger.
From here y'all simply punch it all in. I recommend having the barrel adjusters about halfway out when installing the cables so that you accept adjustment room either fashion later on everything is continued. Likewise, you want your detangler to bladder over the bottom tabs. In this pic it looks similar mine is resting on the tabs, simply information technology is actually just barely floating over them. 
Remember to utilize clear pads on painted rims (helps to keep from wearing off the paint) and the pads should be pitched slightly so that they impact the front of the rim first. If they actually squeal try placing a dime inbetween the dorsum of the pad and rim when tightening down your pads.
Here are some pics of everything ready on my bike...
BRAKES FTW!!!!!!!!!
nice bike
Cheers. I just finished it final weekend. I just take one ride on it so far, lol.
Dearest how your using an Iphone to prop information technology up :L
gyros are too sexy.

They're skillful... I accept Fly brakes on my Eastern that cost twice equally much and I'd say the Evo'southward are just as expert. I take the red Ezra wheels at present and clear pads so they squeel like a mother, only work awesome! LOL... I haven't washed a lot to endeavor and alter the pitch of the pads or anything to cutting down on the squeeling cuz they grab so adept!

Sick, as for the clear pads you tin adjust them and they will grip just as good but no squeeks. For my eclat articulate pads I just flipped them and aptitude them with some plyers(they are moldable). The squeek is cool at kickoff merely it gets soooooo annoying.

yep, I'll mess with it eventually, merely I haven't hardly ridden my Kink since I got washed with the build.
Difficult to find time between full time job and family duties!
volition the lesser plate of a Odyssey GTX-R gyro work on a Cult O/S with integrated caput tube bearings mate? does a washer become between the begetting and the plate?
demand to know asap and then i can throw in an order
i'1000 liking that bike stand up

Non sure man... I'm guessing it would, just I haven't ever had to use the bottom plate cuz I've e'er had pre-drilled caput tubes... you could always get gyro tabs and drill and tap the head tube yourself, that actually shouldn't be too difficult. You'll have to take your stem and stuff off anyway to ready the gyro so you can just pull your forks out, drill / tap it, make clean it up and be on your manner.

Hither's a HOW TO
well i dont have a drill, thats my simply issue, im in Commonwealth of australia and a long style from habitation (The UK)
Gonna just get my forks on (sweeet 990 lugs!!) and run a straight cable and stay old school no pegs
Edited Date/Time:
Great write upwardly here, bmx214, and it is refreshing to see a brake setup these days.
I've recently hopped back on the bmx wagon afterwards a long 14-year hiatus. And when I used to ride back and then a lot of tricks relied on brakes; front and back brakes. Well, I've got the itch to ride 20" again and am setting up a detangler as I really prefer the expect of a overnice gyro system with duals over a single/straight cable or no brakes at all.
I too am installing an Ody M2 / Mobeus / dual lower Astroglides to a Wing brake on my new Kink and like how you routed your lower cables as you take em fastened to the superlative tube a chip tighter than typical. Practice you find that the dual lower cables have increased friction from the tight-ish bends in your cable housings?
Also, what is the brass coupler lookin' piece that ships with the M2 lever for? Tin't seem to figger that one out.

Thanks man... I was just like you! Got back into bmx after a lot of years out and every bit soon as I got my commencement bike I knew after nearly 5 minutes that I was gonna need to order forks and a front brake, lol. Information technology simply doesn't feel right to ride without a full brake setup!
The brakes are dialed and the curve in the lower cables isn't binding at all. Works flawless. Just as practiced if non better than any straight cablevision would. Just brand sure to pull the cable out of the housing and grease information technology while installing your brakes. Helps keep everything smoooooth. I but put a little gob of grease on my thumb and index finger and then pinch my cable on 1 cease and pull it through my greasy fingers. Slide the housing dorsum on and install the cablevision.
Every bit far as the brass thingy, it'south only extra bushings for the lever (also has the screw for the hinge) incase y'all need to rebuild information technology.
thanks bro helped me with my shat
AMBER for life
dainty kick stand up
Former bike VVV
California Living
I now have a more or less stock dominicus scout with a complete Demo rear wheel. Sue me
Im kinda new to BMX but tin i practice this with bikes with only rear brakes?
Nice bike man and the iphone kickstand matter is funny...is that how ppl are usin iphones now?
Don't tell me how to live my life!
I failed the life test...
since ive put my gyro and gyro plate on my stalk pinch bolt dosnt reach and my bar are wabbly and ive taken all the spacers out and it still dosnt accomplish please assistance thanks
So how would you install a gyro without the predrilled tabs? My Cult Bone doesn't accept tab holes. Would yous just put the lower plate instead of using the tabs>
