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

What you struggling with Bert

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.....

Get a pic up Bert, our kid was more of a mid school rider and I watched him strip a fair few spinny things bitd

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

Best i can do at the moment - everything seams a bit short..........

Why is the world upside down.......

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 
Can get longer uppers Bert. May be worth routing the cables underneath the upper crossbar to lessen the stretch

Great minds n all that

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
