Revolver Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 It's not worth it. All it gives you is barspins and tailwhips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 It's a lot of money for the ability to do just one trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMMM-JASON Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 If you want to do barspins just buy a longer brake cable or just turn your bars the opposite way to wich you are going to spin them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINDUS Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 What bike is it for?its for my leeson 24" .If you want to do barspins just buy a longer brake cable or just turn your bars the opposite way to wich you are going to spin them.i have done that a few times, i just want an easy life i guess,plus i think it looks really nice.

Revolver Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 its for my leeson 24" .I suppose.They're supposed to have issues. Talk to Rowan Johns/Manuel on this forum about them - you could comment his profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINDUS Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) my gyro has arrived its not going to work!!! some reasons....1.I'm running a hs33 on the rear the gyro will only work with dot 4 oil2.It looks a mess on my bike its so chunky and looks so out of place.3.I have wide bars and trying to spin with wide bars dont work.4.I bled it using magura blood and it ran fine for about 20 mins, after that power on the rear brake failed5.I give up its now off and back in the box.FOR SALE ONE HYDR GYRO!!!I still want bar spins but will use a longer braided hose,to all of you who advised this before you were right and im sorry i did not take your advise! :$ Now my advice is do not buy a hydro gyro unless they make them better looking and last longer than 20 mins.

MadManMike Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I hate to say "Told you so", but just looking at the picture above is a pretty good indication that it's a useless gimmick.As said before, the easiest way is just to have longer cable / hose.
