solid instruction. I like to fix the junctions with black electrical tape rather than zip ties. No sharp edges and a little bit of stretch during crashes.
alfredo on point with the timing again! just ordered my gyro set-up the other day and hadnt a brown notion how to set it up, saved me a trip to the bikeshop anyway!
Not to beat a dead horse, but.... We miss Stevie and Condor. Not a fan of Tyra's channel, but he is sick as well. Badger is tight on that scooter and it's a good change of pace to have some more variety of clips. Just giving you honest feedback as always haha #alfgang #ropegang
This might be an odd question, but are the short cables replaceable on the detangler with longer ones to use that spliter as a 2 into 1 for the front brakes on a tadpole trike? I currently have a dual pull brake handle, but I'd like better options for brake levers if this is possible. Thank you.
I just have a quick question do you need holes in your frame put this on I am looking at buying the odessey G3 Gyro kit would I be able to install if my frame does not have holes in it if so is there anything else I should know because I saw this video then I almost bought a gyro online but then found out you need holes in your frame in order to install it. So can you please make it clear for me. I want to do bar spins without having to take my break off it looks cool with the break still on and it kind of helps in case you need to use your break.
hey Alf sick video as always I have just put a back brake on my bike its an Odysseus Springfield with a straight cable and I have made sure their is not much slack on the cable and made sure all the bolts are tight but the brake is not very strong any tips? thanks
brakes save shoes and tires and lives. but for some reason I puss out to easily when i have brakes. riding brakeless is a sure fire way to learn new things for me. but hey. everyones different
hey yoooo Alf, great vid man fully detailed and all. How you felt about being brakeless? I for one deff prefer having brakes on bike. You should go st8 old school with the back cable brake... nice lol
do you have any suggestions on how to make your brakes grip better? I just bought a new bike that has black wall rims and they really don't catch very well.
@@AlfredoMancuso have you ever fixed internal rear brake mechanism? I got a bmx off fb buy swap sell and it has internal cables for the rear brakes but the mechanism is broken. Couldn't find anything that helped on google
@@AlfredoMancuso I made a video showing what it is ua-cam.com/video/Ellc7rbdmsk/v-deo.html I'll delete the video after you watch it. Do you have any idea on how to fix it?
Hey I wanna put a gyro on but i'm wondering how the odyssey brand compares with the shadow price/quality wise- also what do you think of the rant brand gyro?? It was cheaper so thought prob not as good..
How wide are your bars on this bike ive been looking at getting wider bars for a while and would i need longer brake/gyro cables if the bars are longer ??
Hey Alfredo, what's the best grease for a headset, I've been trying to learn bars but my bike needs a tune up and my bars don't rotate as smoothly as they should??? #AlfGang
If you head to your local bike shop they should be able to sell you the right grease. I'm assuming you have a loose ball headset? (Non-sealed). You want to take it a part and clean everything down with a rag then grease it like mad and re-assemble it... If the bearing race's looking pitted, you'll need new ones otherwise your bars will never spin nicely!
So, if I buy a complete bike with gyro brake system already installed, am I still able to remove the brakes and hardware to go brakeless in the future? Would I need any additional hardware to make this transition? Or should I just buy a brakeless bike to begin with?
I have the standard type of brake mounts that screw into my frame I have tried multiple sets yet my brake calipers don't seem to spin on them freely any ideas why this is? I've' tried giving each post a quick sand with some smooth wet and dry but didnt really make a difference
hey alfredo i run a full odyssey brake setup with a odyssey g3 dual cable lever and i recently put some s&m hoder grips on a pair of s&m hoder bars cut down to 29inch width, and when ever i get my brake lever in the position i want it in the lever when i pull it and release it, it makes the snappy noise that it makes in your video but when i put eithier some tape or a cable tie to stop the cable from hitting off my bars and making a tinging noise it makes the lever not snappy and its a pain to pull it in, my springs arent that tight but tight enough that it doesnt give my fingers a workout and so its easy to pull the lever in, what could it be ? p.s my lever spring is tight but the lever part still shakes and i cant tighten it anymore
I'm having trouble with straightening my back wheel. I was trying to put on pegs but when I tighten the wheel it always scrapes the frame. Also I have a bit fatter back tire than regular tires. How do I get it straight without scraping the frame?
you should do video of how to pick up chicks or bmx riders getting random numbers with pickup lines , those pickup vids are so huge you need to take over the game lol oh yeah do video how to moto whip and how to go over spine jumps
A gyro may be old school but I still think it looks cool and I refuse to ride brakeless anymore, I did for years and destroyed a lot of expensive shoes
I have a 20 in mongoose thats missing the back brake Gyro cable just the top one do u happen no the the size was told there 3 differnt sizes it didnt have one when i got it
Roughly how much would a bike exactly like this one cost? I recently took interest in building a bmx bike after a 15 year hiatus but have never built one from scratch. Also, are all parts pretty much compatible with everything and it's all down to preference? The parts all seem about the same exact size minus the wheels.
i don't run brakes nor do i plan on it, let alone a gyro, but i like your shit so i watched it anyway. keep doing what you're doing my man.
gyro tutorial starts at 5:24
thank you
You make it look so easy! Just bought new cables. Nervous to put them on, but thanks for the confidence. I'll give it a shot.
Step 1 order gyro, step 2 eat gyro, step 3 satisfied
this is not your traditional greek gyro!!
Damn I'll try the gyro place up the street then sorry for the inconvenience
Chicken gyro's are good!
@@FinallFaith try nick the greeks they good there is a place in downtown Santa Cruz
I ordered brakes on Wednesday, thank god you released this now. If id have done it how i thought it was done id have wasted a shit ton of money.
you took your brakes off just for this, and I love it! stay up alf! #alfgang
Literally haha
solid instruction. I like to fix the junctions with black electrical tape rather than zip ties. No sharp edges and a little bit of stretch during crashes.
Thank you Jack!
Welcome back to the Brake life, Alfredo!
"Brake Life, Don't believe everything you read"
"Don't throw it at anybody Phil" awww poor Phil 😂
I love watching videos of alf riding because im one of the only people in my town who still ride cassette
Hellya! We're #Cassettebros!!
alfredo on point with the timing again! just ordered my gyro set-up the other day and hadnt a brown notion how to set it up, saved me a trip to the bikeshop anyway!
YES!!!
do the cutouts in the ravager gyro plate fit flush with the odin stem? went for that one but wasnt sure what way it would work out!
genuinely think this is the only vidoe on youtube that explains it properly, been searching all week
HAHAHA dying when alfredo throws shade at phil for him accidentally hitting that dude with his bike xD
Chris Meacham jwfm dh rnwf mrmi FD HF tight but by David DJ dkf f fj. Be df
Gyros or not, would be nice if more riders out there have some sort of brakes on. having brakes on makes you stand out!
I agree with you!
Agreed as well. 99 percent brakeless dudes all do the same tricks. I like all styles, but stand out from the clones, and do your own thing.
Sam TS agreed
Sam TS can u still barspin without gyro
I can ride brakeless and wit brakes do flat land and street with any way
Thanks man. Now if only I could find a ridiculously small Alan key I could get this job started!
Home Depot! They’re $1.35
you should make a video series where you teach a beginner how to do bmx tricks
soooo like How To Tuesday?
Alfredo Mancuso yeah but with an actual person kinda like how you tried to teach markell tailwhips
Alfredo Mancuso yeah but with an actual person kinda like how you tried to teach markell tailwhips
great to have you back on team breaks:)
Brakes. You're not breaking anything hopefully
LOL
Nick Giuseppetti Oops haha
been waiting for this one lots of love xx
I’ve watched this five times and I went step by step. Now my nose is stuck in my ear. I need clearer instructions
Who else watched the whole video even though they don't actually wanna know how to put brakes on
cody william ✋🏽✋🏽 same here brakes are easy but I enjoy bike work
Perfect timing, I just ordered my parts lol
oN Auz I just want to learn for when I actually have the money for a gyro
Alf's first tech Thursday I didn't know how to do 😂
Been waiting in this since i saw you reply to someone saying you were going to
hahaha sorry for the delay!
Call me old... But I love my gyro and brakes!!
Damian Hyde me too
I miss and will have mine back on soon!

I Should've WATCH THIS FIRST! b4 I paid $80....Over-All getting It Down thanks!! Helpful Vid!!👊👌👍
Nice video very helpful 👍🏼
Awesome brother ! I love this video ❤️️. Keep going ! 😃😃😃

I run brakeless but still watched. Great vid.
I like the vid of them coming off better ;) lol your the man alfredo your the manfredo
Haha I know Nick, but it just ain't me. Sorry bud! =P
I got a gyro too Ayeee👍🏼. Except I haven't rode my bike in about 2 years lol.
My dude!

brakes > brakeless
Vera some agrees, thank you
More trick are possible with brakes and gyro abubaca is my favorite transition trick flatland decades are cool and so many more tricks are unlimited
Love the videos 👍🏻
Thanks Dylan :)
Alfredo with no brakes > alfredo with brakes
hahaha I dunnoooo
alfredo i love vmx and just got into it i need a more in depth tutorial on bearskin,180s, and
Barspin? I have two videos on Barpsins and one on 180
Alfredo Mancuso do i just have to commit
We gotta do up the bearskin 180 too yo
Interesting! made me think of getting breaks but nah lol... Damn Phil keeps getting roasted haha It wasn't his fault!😂

Your the man cuhh
Yo Alfredo do you have any tips on how to get brakes to stop squealing? Mine squeal ridiculously loud.
Thats good. that means you: 1. have good brakes and 2. youll most likely get compliments. park rats love that shit
The Phenom The Undertaker black pads don't squeal but like what he said the clear pads have better grip
The Phenom The Undertaker you should toe in your pads (get a tutorial)
This will fix it!
Clean the rim surface with degreaser or isopropyl alcohol, and maybe sand a little bit the pads.
That intro was so hard!!
Awesome video Alfredo, like always keep up the good work
i'm late bmx rider and i want to thanks u for continuing bmx guide and help how to and bike checks ur videos was so helpful in bmx community 🫡

@@AlfredoMancuso i was looking for ur last yesterday in epic to do an short interview and asking for help lol they told me u moved ur shop

Nice i wasn’t sure if it would work with the brakes on the seat stays
Does putting gyro brake system will make any braking performance???
do you have any suggestions on how to make your brakes grip better? I just bought a new bike that has black wall rims and they really don't catch very well.
Alf can u please take the left and right stickers off your cranks unless there new oss stickers I don't know about yet🤔
Good to know
:)
Great video because at 13:33 you demonstrate how it works
phil's earlobes hang like sleeve of wizard robe
YES! THANK YOU
+Alfredo Mancuso, Where are konor and churchill !?

Yes, it can! ✊🏼

HEY MAN WHAT DO U CALL THE TOOL YOURE USING TO THIGHTEN UP SCREWS
i like when you ride with.out brakes dude you look sick without it..
haha its just not me
its ok dude. every person has its preference.. have a good day dude
What brand upper and lower cables do you use?
Does your frame have holes for the gyro tabs?
Mine does but some frames don’t come with it so I also made a tutorial on how to drill the holes in yourself
@@AlfredoMancuso i can dig it but I have a mid old school 1991 Schwinn Predator Mag and I am absolutely not drilling any holes in it.
@@AlfredoMancuso I noticed new frames have that so I’m trying to see which is the best gyro for my mid school. Ya know.
@@AlfredoMancuso thanks for responding

Can I mix a Snafu mobeus gyro w/ vocal cables? or any other cheap cable set?
Anyone know a reliable site to buy these on?
What upper gyro size would fit into 20” bmx? 390mm, or 425mm? I dont want remaining cable.
Almost thought this was my how to empanada video :(
It shall happen!
You dont even know how happy id be hahahah
Where can I find a break kit like this I have a 20 in diamond back bmx bike with no brakes
if you don't have grease will tahziki sauce work?
Honestly, it does!
I know im late but if i have a detangler and i want to take off the front brake off do i have to take off the whole detangler
I have the standard type of brake mounts that screw into my frame I have tried multiple sets yet my brake calipers don't seem to spin on them freely any ideas why this is? I've' tried giving each post a quick sand with some smooth wet and dry but didnt really make a difference

will any gyro tabs fit any bike?

Do you need a special clamp for this??
What do the gyro tabs attach to?

Ayyeee ayeeee
Phil owns a track bike ?
Joaquin Tapia fixed gang!
I wanna see Phil riding that.
Thanks

I've recently switched to brakes and I'm never turning back!
F-ya!!
