BMX - How to Setup Your Gyro Brake System

[@ThePenTheSword]

Best brake/gyro video available. Clear, concise, and quick. Excellent job.

[@mr.rozelle1599]

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.

[@mr.rozelle1599]

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.

[@bilalq6298]

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.

Best detangler / Gyro adjustment video on KZbin.

[@B_HarTz]

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

[@SportsShackEDM]

Thank you. That's awesome. I'd love to see a picture of the build.

[@redneckwithajeep5001]

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

[@TastefulMedi]

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!!

[@RandomVids823]

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?

[@RandomVids823]

BTW my bike has a gyro breaking system

[@SportsShackEDM]

+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.

[@RandomVids823]

+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.

is haro la bastille frame good for street/flat? i have been riding bmx for years (3) with not a really good bike... It was really hard to fly a tail whip without a ramp and a 15 kg bike... I´m 1,72, what would be the perfect size? My current bike is 20´5 (top tube; frame) and i think it is a little short, but i´m not sure if the 21 size would be the right size... the problem is that la bastille frame is 19´ something, 2,25 (too small) and 21. Thank you all so much (writing from Spain).

[@tyleratkinson2693]

It's 20.7 with an affective 20.45 top tube due to the seat angle. So you'll be fine

[@sambrown631]

I have adjusted my adjusters many times but started lol have loads of slack. Please help as I don't know what to do

[@SportsShackEDM]

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.

[@Idrzss]

What is a gyro worth? I'm getting a new bike and that's my deciding factor

[@SportsShackEDM]

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.

[@tomasheck1075]

thanks for you reply to my question. i have another. those holes attached to the frame, what if the bike does not have one?

[@SportsShackEDM]

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.

[@tomasheck1075]

thanks for the help :)

[@korydone5066]

can u make a video on fixing the front brakes on a haro?

[@SportsShackEDM]

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.

[@94DDOOMMIINNIIKK94]

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 😄

[@SportsShackEDM]

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.

[@vitalianocastillo489]

What do I do my bike doesn't have the brake spacers how can I put the brakes on

[@supervortex8363]

always have the right top cable on the right side slighty titer than the left to stop gyro click

[@dandonna3904]

on my nephew gyro brake system brake lever is hard to pull does not stop quickly enough help

[@SportsShackEDM]

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.

MY DETANGLER GETS WEDGED UP IN MY HEAD TUBE WHEN I USE THE BRAKES AND IT DOESNT COME BACK DOWN!! PLZ HELP ME

[@SportsShackEDM]

Couple things will help. The tension on the brakes itself will have to have a stronger spring pull. Use the 13mm wrench, and 5mm allen key. The other you may have to change either the upper/lower cable set. If you want, try to spray lubricate inside the cable housing. It is best just to replace it. But first thing is tension on your brake.

It should come off easily. First make sure the grip is off ; 2nd take the screw completely out ; 3rd use a flat screwdriver to spread open the space between. This will help to rotate it off the handlebars. Hope that helps.

[@tonypengo]

Can someone please tell me how to take the lower cable stop off. It looks like its hammered on but im not sure.

[@SportsShackEDM]

+tonypengo The best way to take it out is remove the fork, and underneath(through the head tube), hammer it out. There is a tool the shop uses called a Head Cup Remover, its a evenly placed tool that shapes around the headset. If you don't have one, maybe a large flat screwdriver can work. You'll just have to hit it out around the headset to get it out. Once the headset portion is out, the lower cable stop will come out.

[@tonypengo]

+Sports Shack thanks so much!
