Mountain Biking - fitting gyro to a mountain bike????

I was wondering, does a mountain bike frame have to have gyro tabs in order to set up a gyro system on it? If not, how would i go about fitting it????

I don't know if you could without a welder. You could run the fron brake cable through the top cap and the rear brake cable run really long. This will let you do x-ups etc...

Don't some of those BMX/MTB combination frames have that capability? I remember seeing that.

Also, if you have a singlespeed without a rear brake you can run the front brake cable through the steerer tube for the same effect.

Yes there are a couple. Maybe 2...I can't remember the name thats for sure.

You don't need tabs welded to the frame. You can use a plate that fits between the headset cup and the frame instead. Most gyros include this plate when you buy them.

The Specialized p1 chromo has one.

ok nice one, im running a rear disc brake on my singlespeed bike and the long cable is just annoying me now! So is it complicated to fit it d_D u seem to know your stuff.......

I believe the Kona Cowan has Gyro tabs.

I never liked the plates. Found the braking to inconsistent for my tastes. But no it isn't difficult to install.

BTW u=you. Please try not to shorten your words. Thanks
