Gotta love trek for making an awesome flatland bike and naming it the vert. I love those bars, used to have those same bars on a schwinn predator, they're missing the red dust caps on the bottom, also you might want to reroute the front brake cable through the bars. This is my favorite RUclips channel 🚴
I forgot when i took apart my midschool Haro but your video really helped figure out how to put the Gyro brake cabels back correctly.
Thanks for this video, it's exactly what I needed to fix my kid's mongoose.
I watch your bicycle videos even though I don't actually have to. Interesting! Keem them coming.
Great Vid. Nice tip on leveling the plates !
Thanks this was so help as a first timer putting in brakes.
Thanks for the video. I plan on resurrecting my Dyno Compe, I’m sure the brake cables will need to be replaced.
Hey, you never showed us how the rear brake cable from the left lever gets attached through the head stem .How does it attach to the Gyro mech?
.
The other lever connects to the front brake and is a standard cable that just runs through the stem and steerer tube of the fork.
This is a very good video!!! Thank you so much.. I can now replace my rear cable with confidence.
Thanks for making this video...it really helped me!
Great video !!!
😎😎
I had this exact bike as a child! I grew up and had to leave it in my hometown 😢
It was gold like that too!
Well done bike guy great job keep it up 👍👍👍🛠🛠🛠
So glad I found your video. Got my son his first BMX bike and as a mom trying to install and adjust his breaks, which I have never done, I went to RUclips for help and your video was the only video that explained, demonstrated, and actually made sense for me to learn how to properly do this. Thank you so much.
Thanks, you read my mine & my coments, great video, mr,. Say hello, keep that great job, so helphfull, about bike repairs, tools, & up grades,thanks,joe.
Thanks for the information
Gotta get a Gyro this week because this rear cable is annoying on my bike. A Performer with no Gyro is like family dinner without any food on your plate.
What would I do without you. Oh yeah I'd be screwed!! Thank you very much this comment may not seem like much but you should know you have helped me and my friends so much you are awesome 😎!!
Glad you found my vid helpful!
@@RJTheBikeGuyHey man, i need some help. I’m just taking off my brake cables to lube them, so how would i remove them without breaking the cable?
great thanks interesting
I love your videos they have helped me countless times in the past thank you!
do an u have a video for the front brake setup
Awesome. Thank you 😊
I have a 9/10 speed crank set on an 8 speed rear. And i am wondering if its worth trying a 9 speed chain as i can get rub in the small ring where it rubs on the outer of the big ring,on 4-3 on the cog. I understand 1 and two are cross chain so not worried about the rub there .Thanks in advance for any answers
RJ thank's for the vid it helped me out keep up the good work
Is it possible to replace one cable only of a lower gyro BMX brake cable? In particular the single cable that goes to the brake. I have separated the housing where the two cables come in then the single cable goes out. i can't work out how to remove individual cables and replace. thanks.
PMD did you find out how because i really need to know???
Phew! Thanks for this my son just bought a second hand BMX and the brake doesnt work. Now I know what to do.
thx bro i was looking for one of these videos
You are very good you help me for my bmx but in our vilge theres no parts for bmx theres no break cable If you know some intrnet website for selein break calbels for bmx. Thx. Rj the bike guy. ❤️
Mhmded Sehsd Amazon.com is where I bought mine.
Does the splitter come apart?
looking intoo the splitter itself , im having a electric recumbent trike with mecanical disk brakes and need an e brake levers for a e bike adaption that i'm doing to the trike
i cant find a double pull brakelever with a switch for the e bike part of the system
with the splitter part i could use a single pull e brake lever and split the cables below that using the top of the systen you showed
to get it to work i need to put one longer brake cable in the split part and cut the balls on the end so they fit in the diskbrake calipers
the thing you didnt showed on the how to is : can you open the splitter thingy on the cable system and if so wat type of cables does it take ?
Just got an old Mongoose freebie on the side of the road. I'm always on the lookout for my grandkids. It's an OK bike with 2 handbrakes and a gyro but the cables are in bad shape, along with the barrel adjusters at the levers on the handlebars. I'm trying to decide if I should bother or just leave it the way it is. The brakes work but I'm sure they would be better with new cables. The worn out barrel adjusters on the brakes levers are what concerns me. The threads are kind of stripped so I wouldn't be able to get much adjusting from them. What would you do?
Probably replace the cables, housings, etc. Barrel adjusters can be replaced.
so the only way to replace the cable is to replace all this entire structure?
thanks it's work
what are the name of the spacers?
RJ, where do you buy the BMX cables, and how do you know what size to buy for any particular bike? Are sizes for replacement cables/housings standard?
Amazon. Gyro cables are pretty standard size.
@@RJTheBikeGuy Thank you.
Hi RJ The bike guy. Is there anyway you can install a rotor on a mountain bike. It's probably impossible because of the cables for the gears am I right? Or is it possible...
lorettasuch lewis Yeah, it would not be feasible.
Does anyone know what these parts are called as looking to buy one.
Thanks bro
What about the front breaks
Hello Is ther anyway where can i raise handlebars on a bmx? Thanks i hope u reply
Mark Ballerina It's basically a quill stem. Loosen the bolt at the top, lift the bars up a little and tighten it. See this video about the 1:30 mark: ruclips.net/video/-OiO9E17rr0/видео.html
Ciao...👍🤟🇮🇹
Yow man i need to ask you something , my vintage road bike when i paddle backward the chain falls off any advice what is the problem ??
might need a new paddle
Malemo Aker is the gyro kit compatible with any type of bmx.I want to install one on my bmx,it has not come with any gyro kit
always the best videos!!!!!
RJ what handle bars are they on this video
Probably whatever was stock on that bike.
RJ I need to know can u take the wire's apart an renew them? without buying a new set?? can you message me please many thanks.
Probably not.
thanks if you ever try let me know please.
Frankly I don't see a reason to try. If the cable is worn, so is the housing,. Replace the whole thing.
Someone on the BMXmuseum opened up a set to shorten the cables. It looks like a lot of work, though.

RJ,
What are the name of your handlebars?
George.
Hey RJ the Bike Guy what brand are those brake cables?
I don't know. Stock brakes, and I no longer have that bike.
Ok thank you, I just got a free bmx bike that has a seat post that is stuck, and I new to redo the brakes. Do you have any tips, for unseiging the seat post? What cheap brake cords do you recommend? Thank you for the help. I appreciate it.

What a pain in the ass. But thank you RJ
How can i install a gyro what ever you want to call it, if i'm using hydro brakes?
+goldman sy You would need a hydraulic gyro.
+RJ The Bike Guy forgot to tell you about the shifters i'm using MTB :-(
My bike brake cable is to big for the hole which is annoying :(
Thanks rj the bike guy Whats you real name?
m ylocal bike shop sait you can't run normal cables with on a bmx that had gyros.
Okay. Did I say you could somewhere?
i admit my comment was a bit random. i enjoy your videos, very informative
You can but forget about bar spins
Yg buat muter nama nya apa
Old vid this but the front brake should be on the right leaver, and the back gyro rear cable on the left
Depends where you live.
ruclips.net/video/OR47XELYmQc/видео.html
RJ The Bike Guy yeah i get your point , but even in your country(us) and you come to stop sign to signal right and you hit the right side leaver for the rear brake your left arm can not do this inless you go full boss and hit the front brake to free up your right arm to signal right , but in practice its the norm through out the uk/eu/russia/asia that we use the right leaver for the front brake lol
My cable on the brake is too short
I don't know exactly what you mean, but either you bought too short of cable, or cut it too short, or the cable housing is too long and you need to cut it, or something else.
@@RJTheBikeGuy Ok.. Well i didnt touch anything near the brakes but thanks!
@@seanfoster8102 I have no idea what you did, or the state of the bike before you worked on it. "My cable on the brake is too short" is just not enough information to go on. Too many possibilities.
@@RJTheBikeGuy Ok thank you
