linear cable! less weight are you really throwing double whips? or more then one spin trick (tail whip, barspin) in a line? only then is a gyro nesscary linears cheaper and lighter it just doesnt look as clean not to mention it has less maintenance

Gyros dont feel as good because they have more places to flex.
Unless you dont care.

less weight? GTFO if someone actually didnt buy a gyro setup cause it was heavier than a straight cable they can get cancer...

I have a gyro setup, doesn't interfere with much, you dont even have to use them and no cables flop around, the new technology they have, the weight is very very small, the cables weigh more than the lever, plate, detangler and calipers more than anything else.

It's a really decent system, i love my gyro.
