    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.

    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

  • @hendy4584

    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.

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  5 лет назад

      No idea. You need to do research, and watch ebay.

    • @hendy4584
      @hendy4584 5 лет назад

      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.

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  5 лет назад

      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.

    It went together easily in less than an hour. ruclips.net/user/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.

      You should be able to remove the whole thing. Watch this video at about 4:45 ruclips.net/video/CINjuispG5g/видео.html
      The rotor headset might have something more holding it in though.

      you have to remove the bearing cup that's on top of it. That's what holds that bottom piece in place.

      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!
