Green gyro cables

Odyssey Gyro gen 1 cables in any other colour than black or white are an absolute nightmare to find. Modern coloured cables such as Odyssey gen 3 or those from Savage tend to have black bodies with coloured cables. Which in my mind stands out like a sore thumb on an old school build.

These are the Savage Gyro cables. Cheap compared to the price of an 80's original.



I'm lucky enough to have a set of green Odyssey Gen 1 cables but don't want to risk snapping them so I figured I'd have a go at painting the black bodies of my Savage cables neon green and keep the Odyssey cables "for show, not go".

First I taped off everything except the bodies and sanded down the black and sprayed white primer on them.


After the primer was dry two further coats, one neon green followed by clear lacquer.



An hour later, tape removed and the finished cable. First beside an unpainted green Savage gyro cable.


And beside an original Odyssey Gen 1 Gyro cable:

No heavy use and the end are undamaged.

RL Edge hub

I really would like an RL Edge hub... they look quite funky and a free coaster is always nice to have.
