  • How to install your cables for your gyro brake system. Having brakes doesn't have to be complicated.
    Follow the video, and start from top to bottom if cables aren't installed yet. Also make sure the brake pads are aligned with the rim before you begin.
    BONUS
    TIP 1,,, If you find the brakes too stiff or too loose. Either the cables need replacing, or the tension of the brake caliber needs adjusting.
    TIP 2... If you find your brakes not having enough power to stop you, Try replacing your brake pads with NEW ones. Even longer ones if possible. Old pads can be dried out and or worn. You will find new pads are fresh and a little softer to grab the rim.
    Also, try to loosen the tension on the caliber as much as possible, but still having it rebound back into position. You'll find when you use the brake lever its easier to pull, thus making it grab better on the rim.
    If you ride your BMX frequently, I recommend buying cables every year. As well as removing your brakes to expose the posts to clean and lubricate them. Upper and Lower Cables are inexpensive and should run anywhere from $6 to $10 a piece.
    If you have any questions, please email us at bikes@sportsshack.ca or comment below and we will try to answer it for you.
    Sorry for the out of focus areas. Will do better on next video.
    Please subscribe for more videos. The more I get, the more motivated I will be. :)
    We are a family Sports Shop in Edmonton, and we believe customer service is #1.
    Please visit us on our website www.sportsshack.ca
    Bonus Opinion.
    I get some customers who take their brakes completely off. Mainly because it doesn't work properly. and plus it looks cool. I only recommend a brakeless BMX if your using it strictly in the skate park, and have experience free-styling with your BMX.
    If you have trouble with your BMX brakes, and you don't feel comfortable working on them. Go see your local bike shop. Brake Adjustments can be FREE or up to $20 in shop.

    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.

  • @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.

    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 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.

    • @SportsShackEDM
      @SportsShackEDM  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
