To Lube Or Not To Lube Shifter Cables That is the Question!
Steve Sr. wrote: Bike Gurus, My apologies to Shakespeare. I was wondering if there was any consensus on this subject. I am referring to the Shimano type of cables with the plastic core. If the answer is yes, then what is the recommended lube? I can tell you one lube not to use is Finish Line "dry". It sets up way too stiff and will definitely cause shifting issues. I am currently working on an Ultegra 10 system that is shifting kind of funky. I recently had it in to the bike shop and I think they lubed the cables but I don't know with what. Yes, I have already checked for Gatorade under the bottom bracket and there wasn't any. Thanks, Yes and Mobil One...yer Ultegra is not funky because of lube in the housing...maybe from daffy 4mm housing and cheapo plastic ferrules....5mm housing, brass ferrules and you will be surprised how well it works.
