“Thats what he said” haha
Great and helpful.
“thats gonna give me room for my tool to get in there”
lmao! “i’m gonna stick it in the hole and start squirting!”
Thanks …
Oh yeah, anything you can get a tube on, white lithium, squeek stop, electronics cleaner, carb cleaner, silicone spray, etc. If it’s still around, the Duralube pump spray is the best lube I’ve found to date, you can immediately feel the difference just on your fingers. Awesome stuff, though I never got anything out of their other stuff.
would it work if you just use WD-40 or do you have to use the Cable life lubricant.
nice i was wondering how that tool worked thanks
You could fasten a plastic sandwich bag with rubber bands around the cable and oiler, this will catch all the lube that’s dripping, also (difficult I know), try spraying more slowly, with practise you can just partially depress the aerosol and get more of a trickle coming out and not too much pressure to have it blow back at you
your vids are awesome.

Should always wear safety glasses, overalls and work boots doing mechanical work. I find it very hard taking advice from someone who doesn’t.
Helpuful vid thanks and greetings from Poland
Thanks for the video. I think i will just duct tape the tube to the end of the cable and have a perfect seal, this seems like it would work better.
Nice tool…I find duct tape is the best, if you can get the cable end straight up. Just a one layer 2″ little cone, put your tube in & squeeze the tape shut around the tube & give a few squirts. Squirt more if you want to flush out the cable sheath. Super clean & neat for a quick lube.
Take a rag and wrap it around the bracket before you squirt it, this will prevent lube from flying all over you and your bike. The rag will get wet obviously but again it will prevent lube from flying all over the place.
Thx !!
Good Vid.
I find this procedure easier and less messy if you cut the straw from the can of lube down. About 2 1/2 inches. And then wrap the tool with a rag and grip it tight while squirting
Does this work on gas throttle cable too?
Thanks for spending the time to create this video. It is very helpful.
would this help the ease and smoothness of the cable. would the clutch be easier to pull in
thanks for the DIY
Yeah… nice video.
But how do you get the cable-ball back into it’s happy place? I’m having a hard time getting it back together. You need to make a Part 3, lol.
thanks for the help on lubeing cables its much appreicated..
The tool is key. It funnels the oil down the cable. Try it once without the tool and you’ll get it
Any bike shop should sell both.
