If you run a straight cable, get an Odyssey Linear Slic cable. If you run gyro cables, get an Odyssey Slic cable (non-Linear) or something similar.

No, not at all. If anything, the brakes will work better with the Linear than a normal cable, and the cable won't kink as easily if you do barspins or tailwhips.

i dont use brakes anymore, but when i did i had revenge brakes. they can be used as a truing stand. u can por listerine on a rag, and wipe it on your rim. your brake pads will work better

You only need a gyro if you are spinning your bars more than once around which most people aren't, especially street and most park riders.. if you do, a gyro is what you need, go for it.
