... is it possible?

Yes there are a few ways. Knarps are the best way to do it, but then again, gyro cables are so cheap now days you may as well just buy one that is the correct length.

loads of ways ed,you can either get oddy knarps +cut the bottom off the cables off to get your correct length
or get a g sport nipple clamp (or similar) +cut the top of cable down
done both with no probs -can get pics of mine if needed mate

yes please Gary ... need some pics!

The gyro cables I've got are white Jon and pretty hard to come by... other wise I would have!

Will post a pic of mine... theres just too much cable for me to be happy

The G-Plops are a great idea - look slightly less messy than knarps at the gyro business end

These knarps are good. I have this brake and use these on the rear cable. Be nice if you can get them separate.

Another option Ed would be a Primo Pervert or Static cable divider and start from scratch

I just checked the link and it seems he got the last one. If you could see if your locals have that would be amazing.
