Dead easy Burt, sling it and get a proper freestyle rotor  ;)
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Needs must - old mid school freestyle mashup rider build....... Parts are spanning 1985 - 2002 so far.  Don't panic though, got an 85 build ongoing that might be sporting some rotorage ;)

Cable routing - to be honest i ran out of time as i'm half way through decorating a bedroom and only managed to squeeze a cheeky hour of spanner time in.....

Normally have different lenghts on the top cable where it splits into 2, the longer of the 2 goes onto the gyro opposite whatever side you have the rear brake on Bert. Cable to the rear pretty much takes care of itself

Those bars are probably hot helping Bert, they look pretty tall?
try feeding the lever section of cable through them rather than over them  ???

Made sense when I turned screen rotation off  :teef:
Can get longer uppers Bert. May be worth routing the cables underneath the upper crossbar to lessen the stretch

I'll finish setting it up and post another pic - cables weren't tight, but i'm used to rotors......

It's easy Bert, remember to set all the cable adjusters to slackest position before connecting to the calipers
