Kenny--Trials Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hi guys, I just found a hydraulic giro on chain reaction cycles and was wondering if anyone has ever tried to put one on or has one on? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey1991 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 They aren't very good, they leak. They don't leak, its like there designed not to hold fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 It's easier to get a headset cap so that the front brake cable can run through the steerer and out of the forks then run a longer rear cable. I can get two rotations with this. Gusset hallow caps #5 off Tarty and not as fidgity as a Giro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Thats exactly why I shelved the design I did for one about 10 years ago. Funny how when you design stuff sometimes you get so involved that you don't see the obvious (and miles better) solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 surely rozza the simplest solution is already available with running the cable through your top cap though?? although becomes a little bit of a pain in the botty for the rear magura. a solution could be sought for that other than running stupidly long cables.

If you mean putting the rear cable through the starnut, then you're still going to have the same problem as running it outside of it. You don't really need the cable to be super long to get a couple of rotations out of it, but unless you're doing double bars/whips then you can just turn your bars back round after you've done one? Ali's got a relatively short cable on his Inspired and just does that, doesn't seem to be the end of the world. Certainly less hassle than a gyro or anything like that would be!
