• Has anyone tried lubing up their gear cables with graphite powder?

    Cargo bikes at work use long runs of gear cable, fully enclosed in outer. It’s difficult to change the outers because much of it is internally routed... so normally when the gear shifting gets really stiff we just replace the inners and line the inside with grease... not ideal

  • Not tried. I think lubing cables was a thing in the old days but more modern cables have teflon or something in them already so it tended to make things worse than factory.

    Have you tried teflon powder? (or Di2 :D)

  • I've used prolink pro gold chain lube with a siringe for that, it's very thin and clears a lot of rust and gunk.
