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!!
