True.

I used to ride BMX for years and I can also tell you that adding a Gyro/Oryg adds about literally 12-15 more adjustment points, screws, and bolts that have to be tuned to get the gyro dialed in properly. These are all points of failure. All it takes is one to throw the system out of whack. It's really a pain in the butt.
