Yes, you can put on a gyro, and you dont need one, just keep the straight cable.
Also, tighten your crank.

Not if you have a long enough straight cable, you just have to spin your bars back the other way after.

I can do a double barspin and then it binds a little bit.

I personally prefer a gyro, but when you have a long cable, and dont want to spin forever or back, then its fine...installing a gyro for it is a pain, so might as well stick witht the cable.
i think there might be a way for you to just have the front brakes, but that would be dangerous

Plus you need a decent gyro to make up for the loss of braking power.

i think my braking power is fine...i just dont like that cable tangling around (and you have to unspin them) but what ever makes you happy. IMO the gyro looks neater and technologically advanced
