To gyro or not to gyro?

[stevepeanut]

I am nearly finished my Haro build. The only thing I can't decide, is wether to run a gyro or not. My bike came with one as standard, I am 50/50 on wether to fit one, I am starting to think they maybe clutter the bike up a bit, and the bike has a cleaner smoother look with out one, but I am also thinking, the bike is meant to have it as standard so it should go on. Its hard trying to make my mind up on this.

If its a show bike, and it had one, then yes, do it, if its a rider, and you aren't doing bar spin tricks, leave it off.

I'm not a big fan anyway, but thats a personal thing.

What haro is it?

What year is the Haro?If you are riding it and do lots of old chool tricks like framewhips,boomerangs decades etc then a Gyro comes in handy.You will probably get better braking performance however without one,I am in the process of removing a Gyro from an 84 bike for reasons of era correctness and aesthetics because as you said it kinda ruins the lines of the frame and looks untidy.I originally fitted it as i was intending on riding the bike ar first but decided against it in the end.

Gyro all the way

its a 1988 invert, its show mint, but it will be mainly used for bmx ride outs

I would defintely gyro it then if its meant to have one

I love Gyro's. They look great if all one colour and enhance the braking no end if setup correctly 

I have just fitted one to my '86 Performer that didn't have one originally
