Oddy Medium lever. Very few people like the small.

Skinnier top plate will allow you to faf around with spacers as I mentioned.


Totally agree that the small oddy lever is crap, and the medium lever is great

Rob, have you looked at how little fork tube there is there? I dont think you'll have room for ANY spacers, even with a thin gyro plate  ???

I have, but that's such a kooky plate he's got there, I'm punting he could maybe use a regular plate and reduce spacing down by half and that would just about be acceptable. Assuming the brake is dialled in spot on..


Bendy - by ditching the gyro plate you gain that extra bit yeah.  You could always drill & tap tabs into the stem.....

It may fit and work ok. The lower you get the gyro/stem the stronger your ride is. But equaly you need to have enough room between the lower gyro tabs and the upper plate for your gyro to travel up and down enough to operate your brakes.  :daumenhoch:
That's why I said to fit your current one upside down and fit the cables and pull the lever. Then you can see if there is enough gyro travel. If the gyro touches the top plate then you may be able to adjust the rear brake closer to the rim. If there isn't enough travel after that then its pretty much game over. Time to fit a single cable system or longer forks. I think you will just about have enough room.  :daumenhoch:  if the gyro doesn't touch the top plate then my plate will do the job for you. :)

I honestly don't think you've got enough space to run a plate on that, I'd go for a single cable job if it were mine.

right just turn the plate up side down and found everything is a little to close - can't get enough lift to pull slack out of cable, and it's adjusted as far as it can go

so looks like it will be a single cable ~ no gyro - cheers to stu but giving up on the plate working  :daumenhoch: will get you a half for your troubles

also just looked at the rear brakes and there is not pop back - it's about 1-2mm from the pads to rim and not spring back in place - so will have to adjust them on the new single cable


will put all the gyro stuff to one side - might try again one day, but will see

just want to say a big thank you to all in this thread for helping - team effort in helping out a bro  :daumenhoch:

cheers B   ;)

Nevermind bendy. Keep the gyro it may be good for a future build. Putting the plate on upside down was the only way to find out if it was gonna be to close for the gyro to travel. New lever and cable then mate. I would also say that the odyssey mid lever is a good one. With a slick cable.  :daumenhoch:

Put the thinner gyro tab on top of the stem if the cable will reach

the forks on mine are light - if any thing the bars are heavy


but hopefully the ride is now sorted and just needs a brake  8)

Have a look on stereo bikes website, all the completes look like they have no spacers so i don't think your steerer has been cut down

Get some new forks, internally threaded, you'll be able to run the gyro with no problems...  :daumenhoch:

yer the top didn't look cut down - think i'm just gonna run a single for the mo - was just hoping to sort it all out with the parts i had on the bike - only took three pages to sort out  ;D

cheers Jaymz for the offer mate - stu offered his as well, but check out mine upside down and it just didn't have the clearance - maybe a U type with the life edges may fit but that will be for a different day  ;)
