JTM Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) I have a mutiny sinister BMX (frame obviously). It doesnt have gyro tabs, and id like to fit a gyro. Is it normal to do this: http://www.bmx-forum.com/showthread.php?61595-How-To-Drill-holes-amp-install-gyro-tabs Also, looking at gyros themselves (im looking at getting this http://www.sourcebmx.com/product/components/bmx-brake-cables/snafu-mobeus-gyro/7551.shtml) none of them seem to come with the upper plate? Where do I get these plates and will any plate work with any gryo? Thanks Edited July 14, 2010 by JTM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it normal to do this: It is not normal to do that. It's normal to run no brakes or one long cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that NBR dude Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Come on phil I dont want that piece of shit on my bike. Then you can't run a gyro! If you don't have tabs thats your option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Sorted it yet? Leistonbmx on here likes his gyros, maybe ask him. As far as i know (never used a gyro) you can fit a lower gyro plate under an external headset. If you have no holes for removable gyro tabs and have an integrated headtube then you will have to drill. Friend did that and it worked fine. As for top gyro plates, any will be fine as long as the headset can compress. There's a few alloy ones on the market. Get what Phill suggested if you have an external headtube.
