This thing is super light, ad it spins like a dream. The price is alot more fair than others on the market.

This little guy is tight. It's as light as its counterpart, the Odyssey GTX-R, but it's way cheaper. It's black (so our emo/girl-jeans-wearing homies can buy it too) and is easy to install if you know what you're doing. I really like the rounded edges compared to the straight edges of the GTX also. Finally, it spins well, so what more can you ask for.

I have used all the Gyro's available and this is definatly my favorite. It rotates smooth and if it ever gets rough a few drops of silicone lube take care of it (I've only had to do this once in two years.) I love the little intentations for the cable ends. I like the looks of it and the value can't be beat. Before buying the Snafu I exploaded two expensive Odyssey GTX-Rs. The only thing missing is built in knarps which allow you to easily modify cable lenghts for the best routing.

A light and simple gyro design. No problems to be had here. Smooth and perfect.

There is only one Gyro worth buying. Light, tight and ready for flight. Outta sight. Right? Might stop with the rhyme plight. Ha ha. Any hoo. Good price looks real nice. I wanna slice. Only gyro I would run. If I ran one. Did for about 18 months. Never had a problem with it. No flex like other gyros. Low profile. Smooth as silk. What more could you want

Had for about 2 months. And its spinning like its full of sand. Started out good. Now when I grab the brake Its basically locked up. Must just be me, every one else seems to like it. Beware of dirt, old gyros were designed not sealed because of this reason.

i love this. going from a stock detangler to this you feel the smoothness in pull, and i like how the cable ends fit nicely into the slots of the detangler and you dont worry about them slipping out which is a plus. and it spins really smooth and its a dialed detangler. go out and buy it if you run a gyro and arent already running this a well spent 20 bucks on this if you do so

I think its really good although if it gets quite dirty it can become pretty spongy but looks and feels reall good. Even better when used with the astroglide cables which are mint!

I want one but with dual cables running to a seatstay mounted U brake my stock silver little piece of crap works perfectly fine. But if I wasn't broke I would already have one!

Ultra smooth, light, good looking and smoothly shaped for those of you that manage to jam your knee into the stem. Definitely the most noticeable brake modification I've ever experienced. Really improved braking power and smoothness, which really helps if you feather your brake for manuals etc. Super easy to install and amazingly cheap. Pick up the SNAFU astroglide cables to go with it if you can afford to. Silky smooth. Go SNAFU!

Brake good but after a while the teflon bushing inside get dry, used and hardly spin,


I got this detangler about a month and a half ago and ive had no problems with it, it spins great, doesnt weigh much and keeps a lot of brake power!!!!
