Best speedo or brake cable lube I ever found is called Dri-slide. It is 
  a moly/graphite based motorcycle cable lube. Even came with a 6 in. 
insertion needle attached on the squeeze can. My can must be 20 yrs old. 
Surely there is something similar still around. Try a cycle shop.  Lubed 
my 89s upper speedo cable 8 yrs and 150k miles ago. No squeaks ever since!!
