<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The problem with speedo cables that are
not used to often is that the grease solidifies and contaminates
easier. It is better to use graphite or molybdenum disulphide
powder.<br>
However this should only be used if outer and inner cable are
spotlessly clean (use white spirits, engine cleaner, brake cleaner
etc.) and thoroughly dry. <br>
