BMX - V-brake & Gyro

I'm wondering can a Gyro be used for a V-brake?

I know I'd have to go from 1 to 2 back to 1 cable, or mod a x type design at the brake.

My friend has a v brake with a gyro.

Can you take some pics & post them here please?

It would probably work better than a gyro/U brake combo.

Nah the gyro and the U work better I set both up mine and his, I'll see if i can get pics it might be a few days because, I'm going to south Jersey to pull my boat out of the water.

No, it does not. V-brakes require too much pull to work properly, although there are ways of getting around the problem.

Seems to me that if everything is adjusted properly, the V brake would work better. As long as there's no slack in the system. He's still wasting his time - he wants a gyro on the race frame.

Give it a rest. I ran a race frame for many years back in the day.

If you want to live back then, go for it. We're just trying to bring you up to date with reality.

Reality isn't all it's hyped up to be!

i would kill to get v-brake mounts on my new take ivy frame...

so i could stop supper fast and do skids at the trails...haha

Does this mount below or on top?

What would you need that for?

obviously the viagra isnt doin the job...
get it...its a "stiffener"

Yeah, I'm still waiting for the funny part.

i dont do "funny"

I'm not doing a gyro. I was just asking if it's possible. Geez!

You won't need a U brake stiffener with a V brake.

that was a v-brake stiffener

If that frame has flexy stays, why would you want to jump with it, or even race with it?

I just can't win with you guys, can I?

Does the honesty hurt?

Seriously. That stiffener is for flexy stays. Does your frame flex under braking?

Don't even have it yet. It's a X-gift....

Okay...ream away...

Alloy bars and HD wheels? 45x16 gearing? By the way, your frame won't flex at all, you can skip the stiffener.

What's wrong with the bars? Gearing?

You got 6lbs of wheels. They're for jumping and will take a lot of abuse. Your bars won't hold up to much abuse at all. I hardly even see the little guys at the track running alloy bars.

44x16 used to be the standard BMX gearing. Now most bikes run a more compact setup. 45t is considered huge and unneccessary.

I've put in my 9 hours today, I'm off to go work at a bike shop for 3 hours.

Cheers.

I found some chromo bars styled the same.

Good choice.

prozakk

I would deff. change most of the parts on the bike.
