Hell yeah it is, the other videos that came up had blurry video and "custom setups for their gyro" I just wanted an out of box install and adjust. Dude nailed it.
Great video, the others I watched the guys had "custom gyros" and "this setup isnt for everyone". This was straightforward and clear video with clear audio. Best video for gyro out of the box install of lower cables hands down. And a free brake adjustment bit. Great video for beginners and people getting back into BMX.
Wow, this video helped me a lot. I had my bike shipped to me and it came in a box unassembled. I figured out every thing exept how to put the wires for the breaks. Thank you so much for making this vide. Most of the other youtubers don't do a good job explaining.
This is going to save me a lot of shoes and tires. When I was riding 10 years ago we just took the brakes the off the bikes so we didn't have to worry about them getting tangled. To stop it was just jam whatever foot was closest to the back tire between it and the frame while our front foot was used as a front brake the same way with the fork. I went through a lot of shoes as a kid and I got about half the life expectancy out of a tire
I remember my first Haro bike in the early 90s... was a beast and got ran over by a truck and barely did any damage.... I’m here now to build up my sons bike since it came in pieces lol... good video
This was helpful for fixing my Redline Slash SE back brakes with the gyro I was having a really hard time finding a video that could help. But then this one showed up and i got to fix my BMX!!
Thank You for help bought a BMX bike for my nephew, it's been along time since I worked on bicycle forgot how to install the brakes on the it .So thanks again . Paul
Thanks great video.. Trying to get my bottom/rear line setup to my old Bulldog 884's on the '95 Dyno Air. Front brake was the easy one lol. I still need to adjust the 4 ends/ballpoints a bit more.. almost there!
Great video just bought a bike with a gyro the lower race is rocking when the bars are being turned Ive tried adjusting at the stem but can only get an improvement ive screwed right in on one side and all the way out the other . Keeping the adjustment equal on all four is worse ? Can you advise many thanks
Who else is here because your brakes exploded. Oh wait. Never mind it was the people who sold me this bike at the store who ripped me off and said the “fixed” the brakes and never did. Noticed when I brought it home and tried it! Almost died!
yea the mechanic just f*ucked up my bmx brakes so now I know how it works I'm gonna go to another mechanic and keep watching him until the work is done perfectly
Just put together a bike for my kiddo and watched the video to help me figure out how the breaking system works and how to put it together and now the rear breaks dont work at all. So, there's that.
I'm getting a new bmx bike soon and it doesn't come with a gyro so I'm ordering a complete set. But from the looks of it, it doesn't come with an x over cable and a cable hanger. I checked on ur site but couldn't find anything. Do u know any sites that would have these parts?
Does that bike have gyro tabs cause I have no idea what they are, and I don’t have them. If it does then is it possible to install gyro brakes without them?
I can work on one. Just a little busy at moment. In the mean time this is what you can do. Use the 5mm allen key and 13mm wrench(similar to what I do near the end of this video.) Use that to adjust the tension. If they move freely and easy all you need to do is replace the cable and housing. If they don't move freely, take them off the post and clean it. Put grease on post and reinsert brake with the allen key and wrench. That should do it.
Hi, The best thing the do is to follow the video from the start, but sounds like you don't have enough pull from the brakes, which can create slack in system. So use the 13mm wrench and 5mm allen key, and adjust the spring tension. Don't tension it too hard though cause then you will have to pull harder on the lever. If you still have problems, start from scratch, and follow video. But let me know if you still have trouble, and I can try to help you out. Hope this helps.
If the bike doesn't have it. The best choice to find a gyro to fit on the head tube. Make sure you find out the diameter of the head tube first before you get one. There are 2 sizes.
I have the Issue from 4:15 that my gyro moves when I turn my bars, then I tighten one side so it',s fine wenn my bars are pointing to the front, but when I turn my bars 180 degrees the gyro moves again. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Help me 😄
I assume the top plate is moving. It does have to be tighter. Make sure the head-stem is above the steer tube(your fork) you may need spacers to accomplish that. While the head-stem is loose tighten the top plate to compress everything down, but not too tight. This will help stop the top plate from moving.
I didn't even know what a gyro was, but my rear break broke so I took it off and it was really difficult. But now I only have a front break and I'm thinking of just taking it off as well, what do you think? Should I take it off or leave it on?
+Random Vids If you use the bike to get around town I'd really recommend to keep them on. If you use it strictly at skate park, and your comfortable with it, sure you can take the brakes off. I'd practice first, as you do not want to hurt yourself or other people if you can't control the bike without brakes.
+Sports Shack well my front brakes work like shit, so I'm usually stopping with my feet anyways. And I actually never really go to skate parks, I just do tricks around my neighborhood. So it's kinda difficult to decide weather I should take it off or leave it on. I'm probably going to end up taking them off.
Could be a couple things. First make sure the Ubrake caliper is moving freely, with little spring tension, but enough to snap back to position. You may need to clean the posts on the inside and grease, if it barely moves. Next the cables. Make sure the cables aren't rusty or have any fraying. You may need to change the upper and or lower cables. Those are the most common areas that create the problem. Hope that helps.

Perfect guide ! Simple and easy to understand
Glad it helped. It's good to hear feed back. Thanks for stopping by.
Awesome thanks! Can you do a how to video for putting on an old school ACS rotor from total scratch (bearings and small parts all out)?
Troy Smith I'll see what I can do. It'll have to be when I have more time.
thank you for the video helped me fix the breaks on my bike
Dang i needed this back in 99 😅😂😂
I hear ya. I still come across them though.
i like the gyro or we call it bike rotator brakes back in the '80's. it looks nice and cool designs
Loony Linn we called it a gyro back in the 80’s in Pittsburgh
Thanks man. Now I can fix my boys bike 👊🤙
Exactly what I needed to see thank you👍🏽
Are there any Gyros that work with integrated headsets? Just getting back into BMX after a few decades. Thanks!
Just subscribed! Great video! I'll use this video to adjust my son's new Haro BMX bike.
Awesome, thats great. Glad I could help.

Nice one it really change the perspective of installation... thank u... god bless
Great video! What do you do with the front brake/brake lever though?
still baffles me how a gyro works
True
Jacuk
Years later, someone else has the same thought. Crazy.
Great video just bought a bike with a gyro the lower race is rocking when the bars are being turned Ive tried adjusting at the stem but can only get an improvement ive screwed right in on one side and all the way out the other . Keeping the adjustment equal on all four is worse ? Can you advise many thanks
Thanks now my gyro is perfect
Thats what I want to hear! Glad I could help.
@@SportsShackEDM thanks mate
You are a good UA-camr
Appreciate that a lot! Thank you.

How do you do the other handle bar? I can’t seem to get the cable in as the wire doesn’t stretch out enough
Great video. Thanks. I think i can figure this out lol. Its not rocket appliances.
Good video for a good bike, my son got one from Walmart, I put a new tube in and now everything is loose and not connecting correctly plz help
Great help 👍
Buen video amigo , saludos desde Argentina
If you put your bars to the side would the breaks still work
Thank you for the video. It was very helpful.
Great Video, however you missed showing us the left lever set up.
Thanks. Now I can try to adjust my brakes.
I love you mr. Conoli
yea the mechanic just f*ucked up my bmx brakes so now I know how it works I'm gonna go to another mechanic and keep watching him until the work is done perfectly
This was helpful, thanks.
Is there a way to do this with a 10 speed? I want to customize a 'COLLECTIVE LH1 MTB'. I want a Gyro Brake System on sooooo bad!
Just put together a bike for my kiddo and watched the video to help me figure out how the breaking system works and how to put it together and now the rear breaks dont work at all. So, there's that.
Omg. That's my bike. And I bought it around that time at a sports shack
Parapa Satrapa and how much it cost
@@madness7_7_7 hj
can u make a video on how to take hyro brakes off
+hans menssen Sure I can do that. It'll be awhile though. Pretty busy at the moment.
Nice video !! All dislikes are from people who don’t have a bmx bike / to stupid to follow along in the video!
Helped a lot
Excelent video thanks
OMG!! Anyone remember the ACS ROTOR?!!
Hell yes, that was my favorite. It was so clean compared the Odyseys's
Yeah I had an ACS rotor on my bike in the 80s.
Detangler ?? hehehe On almost all other machines it's called a rotating swashplate or just swashplate, been around since the early 1900's.
Excellent thank you
I'm getting a new bmx bike soon and it doesn't come with a gyro so I'm ordering a complete set. But from the looks of it, it doesn't come with an x over cable and a cable hanger. I checked on ur site but couldn't find anything. Do u know any sites that would have these parts?
Thank you so much 👍👍
what if ur frame dosent have the two wholes for gyro tabs could I still use a gyro or some what
Idk
Omg I remember this video from 3 years ago
Great, thanks for watching it again. :)
It's still one of my top most watched video on this channel.
always have the right top cable on the right side slighty titer than the left to stop gyro click
Sports channel, I had this one guy work on my.Bmx bike and my bike has brake mounts.. Where do I order them? Thank you
Thank you
Definitely a good video minus the "music"
Thank you. Yes, I agree. We learn as we go. Thanks for the comment. These are the kind of comments I like to be better next time. Have a great day.
Hello I know I am late but what kit is this like name or brand of gyro brakes??
Can you link the parts for the bike? I have an old downtown dlx with no brake cables as the previous owner decided to take them off
Muy útil saludos de argentina
Very good
Thank you!
Where can I find this and how do I know if my bike is capable of using this method of brakinv
how the heck does the rear brake on a 20 inch dynacraft go on especially the miserable spring
Can you make a video of how to put scooter Handel bars on a bmx that has a gyro brake system or what ever you call it plz
no possible
That'll depend on what kind of handlebar. The professional scooters won't work on a BMX.
Does that bike have gyro tabs cause I have no idea what they are, and I don’t have them. If it does then is it possible to install gyro brakes without them?
It has a unsealed headset so it has the tabs where the cup should be
is this possible for a MTB? or needs alot of work?
What cable hanger did you use
can u make a video on fixing the front brakes on a haro?
I can work on one. Just a little busy at moment. In the mean time this is what you can do. Use the 5mm allen key and 13mm wrench(similar to what I do near the end of this video.)

I have mongoose AXE and I am trying to restore it any advice?
wow how does this brake system work?
ok but for the front brake im one fishbone and probleme front brake can you help me no idée what peace loose ???
Yo I can't fix my brake like the back when I press it the back doesn't touch the rim an the other just stays still
Yo tighten up the brake caliper itself
@@madgigahz brake caliper?
Lil yup yea the brake itself. Squeeze the brake? Then tighten up the wire coming from the brake lever
@@madgigahz yo thx
I have adjusted my adjusters many times but started lol have loads of slack. Please help as I don't know what to do

What is a gyro worth? I'm getting a new bike and that's my deciding factor
Last time I checked they were around $34 Cdn They are getting harder to find though from suppliers, they are mostly just selling cable sets now.
thanks for you reply to my question. i have another. those holes attached to the frame, what if the bike does not have one?

Did U know how to setup acs rotor
How much does the haro cost?
