Hello,

I stopped riding for about 4 years, and formerly rode a BMX but this year I have purchased a 2014 Specialized P.Slope. I would like to use a Trixer Hydraulic Gyro on it and I am wondering what I need to purchase in order for it to work such as any new fittings / hoses / or even a completely new rear brake set up in order to use. The P.Slope is stock so the current brake set up is the "Avid Elixir 1, hydraulic disc, G2 CleanSweep"

edit: Not sure if I posted this in the right section / best section for most visibility should I try to get it moved to freeride / slopestyle or bikes, parts & gear?

Looks like you would need a new fork to fit the Gyro, the Specialized doesn't come with enough space under the stem to fit it.

Looks good to me, from the manual it says total built-in height of 24mm, but I see the stock photo in the specialized website must show a cut steerer or a photo shopped one.

If the photo is your steerer then it should fit no worries, probably need a couple of custom brake hoses though, Superstar Components sell hose and fittings.

Do you know which ones I would need and if they are available on the trickstuff website so I could Just order them all at once with the gyro.

You'll need the fittings to connect your existing hose to the gyro fitting, it doesn't come with any - sorry don't know what they are. You should be able to get away with cutting our original hose, oh and of course you'll need to bleed them on completion.
