i wont even bother to tellu how to do it with a liner cable cuz its pretty sketcky and if u dont have a good cableu have to add alot of tension to the springs...and ull most likely have to take off your compression bolt..w/e

do this instead its SO much easier.

get a bottom gyro cable, try to get a "long"one. just run the single cable trough ur compression bolt(you get to keep it!), and then the two other ends just run them to the levers. and just pretty much set it up and adjust it exactly how you would if u had a linear cable going to the front break.

paul oskia ran his brake like this a little ways back...im sure he still is

Osicka ran his through a primo pervert.  You can't simply install a gyro cable.  You need to cut some of the cable housing off (where it goes into the lever) or else there isn't enough travel in the cable.  I works ok at best....

Here's the easy way I've used. 

-Get you an Odyssey Slick cable

-Cut the housing equal lengths on both sides of the levers to the brakes

-Run the cable through one housing, through the brake and through the next housing to the other lever

-Clamp down an Odyssey Knarp on the end of the cable with no barrel

-Adjust as needed and go ride
