Trick for Lubricating Cables on a Bicycle 

Super simple - super effective . Nuff said ! Great job . You saved a lot of people time , money and frustration

Thank you for making what appeared to be a complicated task very simple and stress-free.

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.

Your instructions worked like charm! Simple and effective. Thank you.

Wow. That is very clever. I usually try to spray GT85 into the cables but this method is 100 times better.

Wow that looks a lot easier than any other video I have seen. Especially the rear derailer

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!

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.

Great content! I’ll be doing this to my bikes soon,

Thank you very much for taking time out of your day so we can save money.

Excellent video CJ and thank you.

What a great and easy way to lube the cables, thanks for the tips CJ 👍👍

Simple, clear and very easy to understand and very practical.

wow!!! A new trick of maintenance !!!!! I 'll sure try it!!!!! Thank you CJ!!!!!! :D

Superb video. Very helpful.

Thanks from Thailand for your easy to understand informative video!

Very clear! Good!

Nice video. I will be doing this to my bike cables. Thanks

GREAT VIDEO Thank you ✅ Helped me

THANKS A LOT! 🙌🏼

Superb video! Straight forward and very easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing. Subscribed!!!!

Great time saving tip many thanks.

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 😁🤠

Smart and Simple!

Excellent video - Thank you :D

Awesome I’m redoing an old bike and needed to clean an lube those cables . Now I’ll be able to😊

This is such a useful video.

Thanks good tutorials video.

Great video cjhoyle!!!!!!

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.

Great job!

You're the Man!

Brilliant 👍

can you use dry chain lube for this? thanks

What type of chain oil do you recommend to use for the brake cable?

Thanks c j great idea, I would never have thought of that myself. 🤔

great ta

You rock!

But my front brakes is hard to press, how can i lubricate it? Im sorry im new with this bike stuff.😟

Is it ok to use a dry chain lube for this?

Hi. Should i lube it with wet or dry lube?

what if it's internal cabling?

Silicone grease instead?

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.

What kind of lubricant should I use? I have WD-40; will that work or do I need to buy special lubricant?

we did this since early 90s, nowadays people are not that practical like us, 90s guys

Uh.. That frame looks like it can use a new paint job.

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 RU-vid users have decided this video deserved a thumbs down. Top-job, CJ - thank you!

If you libricate that, dust will came. Well for a while if you dont want to spend any money on it.. Why not (-:
