- In this video I demonstrate a quick and easy method for re-lubricating the brake and shift cables on a bicycle by re-positioning the pieces of cable housing. If one of the cables on your bike is experiencing problems, my recommendation is to try to applying some lubrication to it, rather than just replacing it.
The lubricant that I used in this video is just standard bicycle chain lube, but I'm sure many other types of oil are also acceptable.
If you have any questions about this procedure, please leave a comment below.
I hope you enjoyed this video. Please COMMENT and subscribe!

Super simple - super effective . Nuff said !
Great job . You saved a lot of people time , money and frustration
Thanks, glad to hear!
Saving this video so i can fix my sons bike, never done anything like this before but these instructions are clear so I think I can do it thank you. So much better to try myself then pay a fortune i don't have for someone else to do it
Good video! It takes a surprisingly long time to make a video like that, but the end product is very slick indeed.
Thanks. You're right, making short condensed videos takes a lot longer than long unplanned videos!
Thank you for making what appeared to be a complicated task very simple and stress-free.
No problem, glad it was helpful!
Your instructions worked like charm! Simple and effective. Thank you.
Glad to hear, nice work!
Thank you very much for taking time out of your day so we can save money.
You genius! Thanks for sharing! 8 thumbs down from people, that I assume have 30+ years experience looking to learn something new... or -13 yr old trolls???
Kudos @cjhoyle! I've been researching and practicing serious bike maintenance for 7 years now and today I learned an invaluable trick!
Glad to hear!
Probably from people who have full integration cabling and squeaky hydraulic disc brakes
Wow that looks a lot easier than any other video I have seen. Especially the rear derailer
Thanks, it's a handy trick.
Wow. That is very clever. I usually try to spray GT85 into the cables but this method is 100 times better.
Thanks! I've used this technique many times and I'm happy to pass it along.
Great content! I’ll be doing this to my bikes soon,
What a great and easy way to lube the cables, thanks for the tips CJ 👍👍
No problem, thanks for watching!
Excellent video CJ and thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks from Thailand for your easy to understand informative video!
No problem, happy to help!
wow!!! A new trick of maintenance !!!!! I 'll sure try it!!!!! Thank you CJ!!!!!! :D
No problem, thanks for watching!
Can't thank you enough, great video right to the point. Wondered why my back V brake was dragging, suspected lack of lube coming out of storage. Nice trick to getting access where the cables are covered.
Thanks, glad the video delivered what you were looking for!
Superb video. Very helpful.
Simple, clear and very easy to understand and very practical.
GREAT VIDEO Thank you ✅ Helped me
Nice video. I will be doing this to my bike cables. Thanks
Thanks! It's a trick I've used many times which I'm happy to pass along.
Very clear! Good!
Awesome I’m redoing an old bike and needed to clean an lube those cables . Now I’ll be able to😊
Great time saving tip many thanks.
No problem, thanks!
This is such a useful video.
Thanks, glad to hear.
THANKS A LOT! 🙌🏼
Excellent video - Thank you :D
Thanks.
Superb video! Straight forward and very easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing. Subscribed!!!!
Thanks!
Smart and Simple!
Great video cjhoyle!!!!!!
Thank you!
Thank you very much for the technique. I will be ordering brake cables, and i had to read a lot of offers from vendors. I don't buy Chinese.
Your technique will allow me to ride with less risk while my order of brake parts and cables is delivered. I have checked and checked where the friction in the rear brake cable is (after some days of rain), and with some use back and forth of the brake lever, the wire is moving a bit better. This brake was the best rear break in my bikes, so i was disappointed what the rain, dust, high humidity, dust and temperatures in the 90's did to my best break cable.
With your technique i think i will be able to get it working. The original brake cable and cable housing are ordinary, so it is not designed to last, and probably let's in dust and dries out in hot days here in San Antonio Texas.
I appreciate your kind help 😁🤠
Thanks, glad it was helpful. Best of luck on your repair!
@@cjhoyle It worked perfectly!
I noticed that the housing/cable has two curves near the noodle (letting rain water in). I flattened one curve with a tie, and this also avoided some of the initial friction.
Very nice, your solution. Most important is to realize how well bicycles are designed by these times, Even as to ease for repairs. 😳
It seems like almost everything is made in China. It's kind of hard to avoid, but possible, I suppose.
@ BPLove almost everything is made in China. What you don't want is "designed by and made in China." A lot of high end products are made in China but not designed or engineered by China.
Thanks good tutorials video.
No problem, thanks for watching!
Great job!
Thanks.
For the front cable, open up the front breaks for slack and take the cable out of the break handle. Hold the housing straight up and let the oil run down the cable and into the housing.
Yes, as I mentioned in the video, the access to the front brake cable is a lot more restricted than the others, so this is really the best you can do.
You're the Man!
Thanks.
can you use dry chain lube for this? thanks
Brilliant 👍
Thanks.
What type of chain oil do you recommend to use for the brake cable?
A complete over haul bike repair at a bike shop can be very costly. Your videos can cut this cost , Many diy repairs can be done within ones own skill range ,due these videos.
Thanks c j great idea, I would never have thought of that myself. 🤔
No problem. I've used this technique many times and I'm happy to share it!
we did this since early 90s, nowadays people are not that practical like us, 90s guys
great ta
Thanks.
You rock!
Thanks.
I was going to make a comment, but your video titled "BMCC 2.5K Gritty 16mm Grade" got me to keep my mouth shut and stay nice.
@@jeffhayes2288 😆
Is it ok to use a dry chain lube for this?
Yes it should be.
But my front brakes is hard to press, how can i lubricate it? Im sorry im new with this bike stuff.😟
Yes you can, but like I explained in the video, the trick that I showed here doesn't really apply for the front brakes on most bikes. To lubricate the front brake cable, you'll need to unfasten it from the brakes and remove it from the housing.
Hi. Should i lube it with wet or dry lube?
Unless you will be riding your bike in a very dusty environment, I recommend wet lube.
What kind of lubricant should I use? I have WD-40; will that work or do I need to buy special lubricant?
Silicone grease instead?
I've never tried that personally.
what if it's internal cabling?
If the cable is entirely enclosed there isn't much you can do.
Uh.. That frame looks like it can use a new paint job.
That is character 😀
haha the previous owner clearly did not watch my "How to Paint a Bike Frame" video when they painted this bike! That being said, I feel that this ugly paint job might actually be a benefit to the future owner because it will deter this bike from being stolen while it's locked up around the city :P
Super no-frills videos for ordinary people who don't have state-of-the-art bike equipment or expensive tools such as supports. Couldn't be clearer or any more professionally produced. 8 mentally challenged TH-cam users have decided this video deserved a thumbs down. Top-job, CJ - thank you!
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.
If you libricate that, dust will came. Well for a while if you dont want to spend any money on it.. Why not (-:
You could say the same thing about a chain though, and the chain is much more exposed and prone to collecting dust/dirt from the road. If dust is something you're particularly concerned about, you could always buy "dry lube" for your chain, and also use that for your cables.
@@cjhoyle well yes, that Is the reason why you have to dry your lubed chain with same cloth.
Less oil on surface and the chain stay clean longer. Once you get mud in bowdens you get in to the circle..
Sorry for my English
