Rock 'N' Roll Cable Magic

Chain lube is formulated to handle high-torque, external conditions and often attracts dirt, whereas Cable Magic uses a PTFE-based formula specifically designed to penetrate tight cable housings. It creates a slick, protective barrier that minimizes internal friction without gumming up the delicate mechanisms inside your shifter or brake lines.

Yes, it is designed for both. Whether you are dealing with sticky brake cables or sluggish gear indexing, the formula helps reduce drag and restore a crisp, responsive feel to your controls.

It depends on your riding conditions, but a good rule of thumb is to apply it during every major tune-up or whenever you notice your shifting or braking starting to feel heavy or resistant. Because it is a specialized lubricant, a little goes a long way.

Yes, the PTFE formula is compatible with standard steel and lined cable housings. It is safe for use with the materials typically found in modern bicycle control systems.
