I ran a gyro from the early 80s when they came out but a few years ago I switched to a straight cable (mainly cos the frame I got didnt come with mounts, it was right before removable tabs). It was OK and looked nice and clean, but my current bike came with tabs and im back with a gyro. Its great, love it. Less cable stretch, no cable flapping around AND i dont have to unwind the bars on the rare time that I spin them.
I chose the Oddy unit that has the built in pinch bolts so I could shorten the upper cable, with oddy twin cables/ lever.
