a properly setup gyro is more effective than a single cable

a properly set up straight cable is far superior to a properly set up gyro in my opinion

unless your barspinning like crazy an oddy slick or nokon cable minus a gyro will suit your needs

theRuler:
the vagueness of a brake is often relieved by the double cable setup of the gyro!
just the standard gyro should be ok.

the reason why a gyro provides more effective braking, is because there is double the amount of cable
thats not an opinion either.

nice looking bike btw

ok, well i was just talking from personal experience, at the end of the day my straight run cable stops my bike perfectly

aditup2004:
The bike was built from "cheap" parts I had lying around, or bought on the "cheap"
It is for a neighbour who had his stolen a few weeks ago.
His Uncle (also a neighbour) has helped me out a lot in the past, so it is a returned favour really.
It only stands me at about Ł70 as I got a lot of bits from a bunkrupt auction some weeks ago.

thats the main thing
most modern bikes are "mid weight" now, so you dont have to eek every last n/m of stopping power out of your back brake. even a v brake will do!
back in the days of 45 pound bikes things were different.

but if you are keen on "ultimate stopping power" then run a gyro with twin lower cables.
also gyro cables are very well made, like the oddy slicks
