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.
