Title: sanfu mobeus
Post by: Glen on October 15, 2009, 12:08 AM

Do I need a tapped frame with tabs to run a snafu mobeus ?

At the moment I dont have a tapped frame with tabs, so what do I need to run a mobeus gyro?

Yep, if your frame has an internal headset, you'll need the gyro tabs which screw onto your headtube :(

(The old lower cable bracket you used to get with the gyros doesn't work on an internal headset frame)

It's not a huge job to get the holes drilled and tapped though, and you can buy the gyro tabs for about a tenner new.

Know a few people who have done the mod themselves / got it done for them.

You should be okay with the Mobeus.

The mobeus cable spacing on the bottom section matches the spacing on the gyro and oryg and also the bottom cable hanger which sits between your top headset cup and your headtube, so it should work okay.

(I've run both a gyro and a mobeus on the same cable stops)

I've one of the gyro bottom plates here I can throw over your way since this doesn't come with the mobeus. Might even have a top plate too.
