I just got a new bike its a Rockstar EX1, it's got a Gyro which i've had in the past but forgot how to install. I know, that the split end of the cable goes to the brake and the single end goes to the Gyro it'self, does anyone have a DIY/How To for the install of this? i would also love some pics of installed Gyros if possible. Thanx for the help

Honestly, unless you do a lot of barspins and tailwhips, you should probably go to a straight cable because it's a lot easier to maintain and keep the brakes dialed.

Straight cable it, it'll feel better, look better, be lighter and work better.
I do tailwhips and I still run a straight cable.

Get some kind of Linear slic cable.
Personally, I really like the Odyssey cables. And to take it all off and install it isnt hard, you should be able to do it yourself.

Haha. That's great. The first thing you have to do is cut your wrists...

Girlfriends house?
Why would you cut yourself if you have a girlfriend and you are at her house? It doesn't look like she's cutting too...
