- In episode 4 of the 1991 Haro "Bash Guard" Sport BMX restoration, we complete the final assembly, and reveal the finished project.
We also look at some of the final upgrades that we are making to the bike, including a set of Haro Airmaster pegs, Dia Compe Tech 77 levers, and an era correct Odyssey 1st Gen Gyro. While we are on the subject of Gyros, we also dive into the history of BMX detanglers, Look at how the Odyssey Gyro changed the game for Freestyle BMX, and unlocked a decade of progression in Mid School BMX Freestyle.
After the assembly we do the final reveal of the bike, before giving you some details on the future project that are coming to the channel.

Well done! The background info you give makes your videos even better my man. The bike turned out great.
Really appreciate the kind words! Will hopefully kick off the next project soon, so keep an eye out for that.
Great bike... and even better hair!!!!! :D
Glad you like the way the bike turned out.
This was a great series. Thanks
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome build love the fact you stayed with the one piece cranks instead of going 3 piece and the tidbit about the odyssey gyro was awesome miss those days
Thanks. Stoked you enjoyed it!
Brilliant video again jon, well worth the wait 👌
Thanks Jamie! Glad you enjoyed it. Struggled to find the time for this episode with work and the Christmas period but hopefully they become more frequent going forward.
Just discovered your channel, amazing stuff thanks, I subscribed straight away, I’m looking forward to getting to stuck in to your other videos, I love the way you zoom in on what you’re doing, it’s really helpful when restoring a bike yourself 👌🏽
Welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying it and finding the content helpful. We have a lot more content in the works as well so keep an eye out for that.
Great restoration! Really gave me a flashback of me maintaining and rebuilding my bikes back in the day! A couple things though. One, I didn’t know that clipping the gyro cable was an option and then having a “replacement head” hat is this witchery? I don’t think these were available back in my time of the mid to late 80’s than early 90’s? What is that piece called? Secondly, a lot of people don’t understand the importance of what I call bearing grease, maybe lithium grease these days? Put that on everything just as you did in the video! Back in the day though, I read an article in BMX Plus on maintaining your breaks, and one of the things I always did, was take a plastic Ziploc baggie, get a gob of bearing grease on it, remove the brake cable from the housing, then run the inner cable through the grease and insert it back into the housing. Will make your brakes feel like butter! Everyone always asked me back in the day why my brakes were so smooth…. That was it! Plus it makes your cables last longer!
Glad you enjoyed it! The “knarp” used to shorten the upper cable is a Dia Compe item not an Odyssey item. They came with the 990 brakes so that you could set your own straddle cable length. Using it on the lever end to adjust the Gyro cable is an old mid school hack and it works amazingly well. Agree on the grease. Makes everything run so much better! I have a separate video in the how to section that deep dives on the gyro setup if you are interested to know a bit more detail. 👍
Very nicely done Jonathan! Between you and Matt Sully, I'm get a twitch for an early Haro Sport!! Haha!!
Thanks Matt! They are definitely an acquired taste, but have a special place in the early mid school era.
Great video.
Gonna take a look through your others 👍
Takes me back to being a teenager putting my own bikes together. Never had the luxury of a stand tho!
Had a love/hate relationship with gyros. Would have been good to shorten the top cable like you did. Remember trying to use cut down plug terminals to shorten the top cable at the gyro end. Ground the headtube down on a pk ripper to fit a gyro too 😂
I never had a stand back in the day either. I’m just getting old now haha. Yes shortening the top cable makes a huge difference, but all the little tweaks add up. They can work really well with a bit of fiddling here and there. Hope you enjoy the other videos as well. 👍
Nice video very informative
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
I enjoy your channel, very nice build. I used to ride flatland years ago. My last bike was an 88 Haro Master. I'm curious, what do these bikes cost nowadays?
Glad you are enjoying the channel! Cost varies significantly based on model year and condition. It can be anything between $200-$2000 based on the ones I have seen for sale. Hope that helps. 👍
