it's just a regular gyro matey, but with either a dragonfly gemini or a snafu cable
they work a charm

Yeahh... i got the Fly cable... well better than the regular upper gyro cables!!
it's just two seperate upper gyro cable's connected to a wider nipple!! they work nice!!

They go straight to the lever... i think for some of them , you need certain lever's to use em... but i've got
a Fly dragon fly cable to a Odyssey lever, mine works fine!!

i think that cable in the first pic is specifically for an odyssey modulever, but the theory is fairly similar, and like davemc says, one like his red cable will fit pretty much any new school lever.
i've got a gemini cable on an odyssey monolever in this pic, with dual lower cables too:

I think if you wanna use a gyro, then these cables make your brake smoother and sharper i think!!
mine were spongy on regular gyro cables... a lot better now... and im only using the upper dual cables!!

Odyssey M2 would be the best way to go, formerly 'modulevers'. The lever has a wider housing to accept the dual cable which is reduced to a single short wire to the cable nipple all inside the lever as opposed to the older style splitter half way down the cable

Still using the Modulevers here, great levers
they're the OE versions with the smaller barrel adjusters than the originals
Here's the original version (running a single cable, you just swap out the cable adapter in the lever) The barrel adjusters on these are BEEFY!
