I was just working on my bike and the current awesomest thing ever happened. :p

I was adjusting my brakes and pooof! I suddenly realized how to totally eliminate that annoying thing where the gyro flips up and down a little making the brakes feel jerky when you turn the bars. :eek:

All I had to do was look at the gyro see which side of the top is on the up side and adjust that adjuster down and the other adjuster up until both sides are totally even.:D

How come no one told me this earlier?

Uhhh...

Because we didn't know you were having a problem?

Or maybe it was because we all think it's better to learn for yourself?

Maybe we're all just big jerks?

Eh. I've really got nothing. I'm just sitting (working) at the skatepark, and I'm really bored.

I think I just want to eliminate my gyro altogether.

hahhah, you finally killed the dreaded "GYRO FLOP" demon!!! yeah!!!! anyways... Unless you're doing double barspins constantly just run a long cable/housing. It'll be lighter and require less maintenance and give better feel and power to your brake.
