I use a Gyro but I want to try a Fishbone IF I can find it there super rare now.

:edit:...Never mind the Fishbone is too small wont fit the newer bmx's or mtn bike

Thanks for the input. I have been riding a fixed mtb on the street here in nyc and was thinking about adding front (and possibly rear) disc brakes as an experiment to see if I could incorporate some trials moves into my fixed freestyle (I was asking about the cable detangler so I could still do barspins).

Thanks, Capridrifter. Any info would be most appreciated. I've been riding the disc rear with a tomicog, but the only fixed w/ disc hub I know of is the Phil Wood. I figure if I get the cable detangler with mechanical disc brakes I should be okay. Ever hear of anybody trying this before?

Oh, the harassment I could dish out at this...

As you can see it is cable operated so the chance of using a detangler on it is pretty good.

That doesn't change the fact that he's riding a fixed-gear mountain bike and wants to put disc brakes on it. Basically, the end result is a post-op tranny.
