| Don't know about cleaning the cables, but we have a cable luber like this: |

| A few shots of WD-40 after every couple of rides works wonders. |

| How does that work Char? I can see that it must tighten around the cable, but iam not sure about how it lubes. |

| Not sure what's available on your side of the world Pete, but you should be able to get them through any mail-order place. If you can't find one, let me know, I'll pick one up for you at the local shop and send it over snail mail. |

| I use a cable luber that I got at Cycle Gear for $6, and then use WD40 to flush out the goop that was in there before. You have to have the straw on any aerosol with the luber, and if you shorten it, it works better (doesn't pop out). After cleaning the cable out with WD40, then I use brake cleaner and let it dry. After that, Dupont Dry teflon lube is the best (and final) lube. It doesn't attract dirt like chain lube and makes for a near-effortless cable action. |
