I've always used white lithium grease.

Re: Dumb lubes question
Same here. Dunno if it's the best, but in 45 years of ownership, I've not had any problem with it.

Re: Dumb lubes question
They sell a speedometer cable lube. Looks to be graphite is some type of oil?
Not sure it's any better or worse than the suggestions. https://www.amazon.com/Ags-Kable-Eas...s%2C349&sr=8-2 I have a tube and it's lasted for 25 years. LOL. Any dry graphic lube may also work fine. |

Re: Dumb lubes question
White lithium for me too. There's probably newer stuff but I'm not knowledgeable about those.
