9035 is not me take it off im 34
Cool. I just picked up a new one of these bikes yesterday for free at work and had never seen this setup before. I haven't taken it out of the factory box yet, until I knew what all the parts were so I wouldn't have to worry about loosing any of them. Today thanks to your video I'll be putting it together.
Thanks RJ for the helpful videos. Especially this one. Been building some old school BMX bikes for cruising. Had to install 3 gyros from scratch. This made it a lot easier! Just takes a lot of patience to get that detangler from flopping.
Great thorough explanation, thanks! I am building an old GT and have a Gyro that I never used and planning on finally putting it on my build, don't remeber much about putting bikes together anymore haha.
Just installed and tuned my first G2 using your video. Thanks for the tutorial . Really helped a lot
Goddamn, where was this video in 1997 when I needed it? Haha thanks RJ
Been a long while since I've instsl3led an old school detangler...put it on a '88 Haro Sport Vintage...very helpful...many thanks...
Needed this today, brake cables giving me a fit, also bike needs full service, never dealt with this type... Als needs new brake levers as well...thanks for the info.
Very great explanation with the bmx giro, syystem, i would like to see, more about this system, maybe, a step by step process, thanks, joe.
the best video for this brake! thank very specific for beginner bmx repair people like me
I needed this THANK YOU!
Thanks again for your videos permitting me to understand some others mecanic conception.
That permit me also to see a different point of view, i mean to share usefull experiences.
Pascal from FRANCE.
Thank you! Very helpful your instructions, thanks from Brazil.
Thanks a lot! Very helpful video!
Thank you for your well informed vedeo on gyro box brakes.Those brakes I always in the past I use to avoid adjusting,because I did not know how.,well I took a look at your vedeo ,and I'm an expert,thanks to your vedeo!
Sir, this video really helped me today. I just needed to let you know that. Thanks❗️👍🏾
Same here! Thanks!
Cool bike, never seen a Trek freestyle BMX before 💯👌💥😎
Hello. Thanks for video. Soon will be installing a gyro onto rebuild. Question, does the bottom gyro plate go in between top of frame and top headset cup?
thank you for your video it really helped me
Great video. Thank you for making this.
I had a BMX scooter back in the early 90's that had Bulldog brakes and a gyro. It was sweet!
I had the blue subvert 3 back in about day , awesome bike , especially for a mountain bike company.
Trek makes more than mountain bikes. They started with road bikes and still make some of the best.
I still have mine, love it. I have a blue and a chrome one.
@@RJTheBikeGuy sir RJ, im always wathcing you videos, if you don't, mind, can i have this bmx for my son. Im from Philippines 🙏🙏🙏
I was looking for this video!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Brilliant!! A massive help ;-) Thanks man
i finally found thissssss thanks RJ
My homie growing up we were young he had that very exact bike it wiz tough i wish they still made those
Alguien que hable español y sabe que este tutorial es bueno para alguien que quiere armarlo sólito gracias brooo🥰💖
gracias!!
what is the part called you use to pass trough the front brakes cable inside the steering tube and can i use this on every BMX handles ? because i am new to BMX and coming from normal bike riding i prefer to have 2 brakes. nobody talks about front brakes in BMX scene. i plan to get a 24" cruiser BMX.
Can you adjust the height of the gooseneck and handlebars on a diamondback joker with this same gyro setup?
Ahhhh...So Diet Pepsi. Thats what makes RJ tick. Thanks for the great video!
Bro on my headset,is it kool if my bottom bearing is face down n not into the cup? It fits better like that ,what do u think?
I got a question do you need holes on your bike frame if not then which gyro kit should I get. I am not drilling holes in my bike I don't want to mess it up also I also don't want to ride brake less. So please tell me if I can install a gyro kit with no holes on my bike.
rj is that gyro built in ? if it is can you replace that headseat for an intergraded one , i have the same bike but that gyro is stuck so i think its just built in . and i was wondering if i can just put an intergrated headset or will the gyro not let it go through ?
Thank you
The 4 piece bars are great
Nice vid ... subbed
I thank god for this video
Awesome video, thank you! Why is Marine Grease better than Regular Grease or White Lithium Grease?
Marine grease doesn't break down when it gets wet, and it lasts a long time.
any way to remove that thingy so you just have a clean headset like a park bmx?
what size rims ant tires are them im looking at to get 20 1.75 but im not sure yet i dont want to thick or to thin
Very nice very cool seraaaaa
Atttttt. Endless. Osmm
Tengo la misma bici pero en cromo..!!son hermosas..!!saludos desde argentina
Soy de LATAM 😎🇲🇽👿
Gracias...
Buenas tardes ,podrias desmontar por favor el aro donde van montados los cables que salen hacia la parte trasera de la bicicleta .gracias
I love bikes
Es que tengo una bmx monty y no se como desmontarlo.Gracias otra vez
I never take credit when I fix my friends and familys bike I say. RJ the bike guy taught me everything I know
i always wondered how bmx riders do tbeir tricks ehen spinning and spinning their bikes around without breaking their cables.. now i know how. thanks for this video haha
They usually ride breakless but some riders use this
hey if i want a lower gear on my bmx like a gear 5 or 6 mtb what would i need on front and back id apriciate it loads
Please specify your preferred gear with front teeth
Awesome thanks!!!
Where do u get that stem bolt with a hole that goes the cable tru under the fork where can i get ...what do you call this thing????
It's part of the gyro system.
Great video RJ! Are gonna post any more videos of your 1954 Indian Scout?
That is a long term project. I can't do much on it until I get the parts which are not easy to find. I also need to get down to Hershey, PA to get a close look at a 1954 Indian Scout bike they have down there in a museum to see what it should look like.
Alright good luck
Do training wheels fit on this bike?
what year is tht bike i been riding flatland for over 15 years and i never saw a flatland bike like that is nice
1997ish. bmxmuseum.com/bikes/trek/47007
that bike is hideous (to me at least)
Cables over handlebar or under
Are all detanglers like this? I've been given a bike with a detangler on it that the frame is likely ruined because someone burned it with a torch or something. I was thinking of taking the headset and fork and using it on a different bike till I can find the proper parts. My intended doner bike is around a 2014 huffy so I have no idea if the sizes are the same though I do think they are because it's still using the old one piece crank. I fully intend to upgrade to better parts when I have the money but I 1 inch headsets and forks are not as easy to find these days as they were 20 years ago
I think this is pretty standard.
Cool video! Let's see if I can do it. lol
wow inever saw this kind of frame
Hey RJ, question.. I have a bmx and the handlebars are out of alignment with the wheel.. keeps turning when I hold the wheel between my legs. Do you have any advice on how to fix this?
Tighten the stem.
I need help I my headset keeps on moving away from my tire and won't track with my forks any suggestion
We need a sealed bearing headset for the 1 inch and gryo system. Can't believe no one has made one yet. Wow
You have no idea. But thanks so much 🙏
What year did that trek came out bcs I got a 2001 original dimond back bmx
Google it.
Ok
Hey RJ the bike guy! I took off the nut that was holding the fork, stem and handlebars together completely off and now when I try putting it back in turn tighten it, it won’t tighten. Now my fork won’t move when I turn my handlebars can you help me out?
Sounds you re-assembled it wrong.
I have a mongoose bmx that’s missing the original front calliper for the gyro system. As you know it’s a bit different as the cable loops and connects to the bottom rather than the top of the calliper and i can’t seem to find one anywhere. The rear calliper is a Shimano brand so I’m assuming the front would have been as well but is there a special name for that type of calliper? Hell maybe I should be so lucky and you even have a part number for me. Cheers in advance.
No idea. You need to do research, and watch ebay.
I figured it out. If you look at the calliper on the bike in this video you can take the barrel adjuster and the cable holder and simply reverse them and voila. So you can have a standard side pull from both top and bottom using the same calliper.
Glad you got it figured out. These is so much variation of parts, it's pretty much impossible to tell people what bikes have what parts.
Where did you get that cool little grease gun?
Edmund Fournier Amazon: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0025UGOVW/ref=nosim/youtube25-20
There are other brands that look almost identical. But they generally don't work as well as the Dualco.
Edmund Fournier I even made a video of filling it: th-cam.com/video/Bysp3VfYxVI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! You rock!
RJ The Bike Guy kinchrome tools has one in their range,i'm getting one as it would be more convenient than handling grease & making a mess.
neil crompton As I have said previously, there are a bunch of mini grease guns that look like the Dualco, but many have mixed reviews, or downright bad ones.
My handle bar isn't locking onto the bikes frame how to fix I took out the front brakes
How do you remove the black top part that says gyrO2
Can i just remove it and just install hendlebars??
compre una bmx con freno de rotor para mi hijo lo que pasa es que su manillar se gira pese a que ya esta apretado una ayuda plis
What size of ranch do you use to take off the part that was already loose on 1:52
I used an adjustable wrench. Those vary from bike to bike anyway.
Hey RJ, i'd like to remove my gyro brake and don't put it anymore. Can i just put my bar back ?
Shimida yea I wanna know too
Yes. Just take it off and put the bars and stem back on with out the rotor.
I miss that bike so much! I had my trek for 16 years and it got stolen out of my truck at an impound lot :( been searching for it or a clone for a few years now no luck
I Am YZDEMON it’s called a trek subvert 1.0 maybe search that up on eBay and you’ll probably find one
RuthlessGamer110 BOSS everyone on there is beat or they want 1k for one that dont even have the original parts
I Am YZDEMON true...
Me refiero al aro donde se lee O2,gracias
what do you do with all these bikes RJ the bike guy?
+Issiah Ornelas I resell most of them to make room for more bikes. I keep some of the ones I really like.
Do you have anymore bmx videos coming up I'm a big bmx rider
Not soon. Not sure what else I would cover.
On more modern bmx the sealed bearing show how to over haul them or one the brake tune on all different brakes over haul sealed bearing for a head set
I'm pretty sure he's not you Unstable Wun
Can you do another tutorial on this but with a bmx threadless headset?
Probably pretty much the same thing, except threadless. th-cam.com/video/Q79-Jfekm9A/w-d-xo.html
It went together easily in less than an hour. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
My Bmx bike won't release the handle bars with the stem(removed the screw )? Could it be that it is stuck? Trying to revive my old bike.
Thanks

th-cam.com/video/7GvN7w386U0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, that helped. Now I just need to get it out of there. Much appreciated.
Anyone know how to take of the gyro I got a new bike and didn't notice it had brakes and I ride brake less
How can I get a gyro that long?
If I completely take of the gyro, do I just need the bearings?
You will probably need a whole new headset.
RJ The Bike Guy ok. Thanks
I can’t tighten the stem bolt back on the bolt is 9:16 that’s the bolt that won’t tighten can someone help me
Does it matter which bearing u use???
Yes. you want to the same size bearing that was in there. Anything different may not fit properly.
I would call that a swash plate, even if it does not need to swash but only use a collective pitch effect, rather than a cyclic pitch as it is used in a helicopter. .
thats the first time i have ever seen that
can i put the rotor in a bmx that doesnt have rotor?
no. not enough room
Dude you didn’t even explain why you loosen the cone nut. Could you elaborate?
How many times did he say "here"
What year is that Trek?
Research it and let me know.
SMS CUSTOMS 1997
My carbonated drink of choice is Coca Cola.
awesome great now how do you remove the last peice omg
+jhill0962 Which last piece?
+RJ The Bike Guy the black bottom piece that's on the frame
+AquaLady 420 (HoodChick) The cups are pressed in.
so you cant get em out to remove the entire rotor
You should be able to remove the whole thing. Watch this video at about 4:45 th-cam.com/video/CINjuispG5g/w-d-xo.html
The rotor headset might have something more holding it in though.
how much is that one worth I have one I'm selling
www.rjthebikeguy.com/faq/
Can someone please tell me how to remove that bottom piece at 3:46
you have to remove the bearing cup that's on top of it. That's what holds that bottom piece in place.

This is so old school lol
so much diet Pepsi!
Lol, Ijust took the thing off and made my bike "STREET"!
I'm looking for videos on how to do that very thing! Having to "reverse engineer" the process, since I know zero about bike repair. sigh. Thanks for confirming that it can be done!
mine isnt that cheap screw on, so its harder
*bmx*
Impossible????
