Hi Roger,

The little bit of grease that comes on the cables is probably inadequate.  For
good measure, I like to remove the cable from the sheath and liberally apply
liquid graphite to it.    I have a spray can of the stuff manufactured by
McKay's and it's terrific -- but very, very messy.  Wear old clothes and
gloves...

Take care,

Jeff McNeal (San Diego)

  Are the new cables supposed to be lubricated before installing?  I thought
it
  looked like there was grease already there so I did not add any more.

  Thanks
