I need help on a how to/diy

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.
