Author Topic: Gyro question, is it just me or..... (Read 987 times)

Got my Oddy2 gyro set up, but its utterly useless as a stopping tool. I quite expected this as more parts = more friction = less effective brake, but I was hoping I would be wrong.

Are there any tips or tricks on how this can work well and actually stop me compared to a regular back brake set up?

Cheers

Did you lube the cables? If not, thats the problem

I didn't Glen, straight outta the box. Did you just drop some lube down the inner cables as they are fixed in no?

What did you find works best?

Cheers fella

Yes, lube it all! I use silicone based spray lube. Grease the springs and the mounts too.

Sweet, will do. Thanks for the advice

3 in 1 oil back in day, or sewing machine oil
