inside the "capsule" there is a lump of metal that all 3 cables attach to. nothing fancy, it cant be disassembled though. a bmx company called Primo used to make something called the Pervert, which allowed you to use normal brake cables for a gyro. i dont know if you can still get them or not.it was originally used to allow custom lengths of cable in the top part of the gyro, but it can be used for either.
also, there is a way of running 2 cables to a gyro, and them one to each brake arm, but this will obviously only be possible if you are using a brake which has 2 points at which the cable connects, such as a u brake. this is commonly referred to as a "London Mod".
EDIT - didnt realise that the page about gyros i was reading wasnt the last page of the thread - its late, sorry.
thought id leave this up though cause it might be useful to someone!
