Is there any preferred lubricant for a clutch cable? I've got one that I'm about to install, but it's been sitting around for a good while.

If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is!
I haven't done this myself, but graphite spray lube sounds like it would be perfect for that.
sprayed white lithium grease on mine.
They make lubricant specifically for cables. I used some on a speedo cable from a Miata that was squeeky. Worked good.
I was going to guess cable oil, but is oil not proper for this?

Dissolved grease in an aerosol can? I've got a can that says it's for rollup garage doors.

"The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
-- Alexis de Tocqueville
"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."

"To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."

Thanks all. I actually ended up using silicone spray. Permatex even recommends it for cables.
