Collection: Road Bike Cable Oilers

Middleburn road bike cable oilers are installed inline with the cable housing, allowing lubricant to be applied directly into the inner cable and housing. This helps reduce friction and maintain smooth, consistent shifting and braking, particularly over longer road rides.

Cable oilers are usually fitted in an accessible section of exposed cable housing, often close to the lever or along the frame where cables are easy to reach. Proper positioning ensures easy lubrication without interfering with cable routing or aerodynamics.

Fitting road bike cable oilers typically requires basic tools such as cable cutters and Allen keys. Installation is straightforward and can be carried out during routine cable replacement or maintenance.

Yes, road bike cable oilers can usually be reused when replacing cables or housing, as long as they remain in good condition. This allows continued easy lubrication and consistent performance across multiple service intervals.

Lubrication intervals depend on mileage and riding conditions. For road bikes used regularly or in wet conditions, periodic lubrication helps maintain light, responsive cable action and prolongs cable and housing life.

Road bike cable oilers are compatible with most mechanical road bike gear and brake cable systems. They are well suited to both modern and older road bikes that use standard cable housing and benefit from regular lubrication. Speak to our expert team to discuss compatibility with your bike.
