To be honest if you have to ask then I would take it to your bike shop. Unless its a high end gyro with the London mod (€200+) then I would personally run a long linear cable.

Yes, but it takes some doing. You have to remove the heaset bearings(the things that the fork turns in), install a piece, then put the bearing back in.

Do you have to have gyro tabs on you bike to be able to have a gyro?

They do not have to be attached to the frame but yes you do need them. When you buy a gyro kit for a bike it comes with a plate that has tabs on it. Unless it is an integrated frame, meaning the headset is two cartrige bearings down inside the frame, if so a gyro will not work without the tabs mounted to the frame. Hope it helped. :)
