The best stuff I've ever seen for cables - bar none - is Dri-Slide.  It's Molybdenum disulphide in a very volitile carrier.  It doesn't harden in cold weather, and it doesn't attract dust or moisture from the air.  I used to get it from Gunsmithing suppliers like Brownell's.  Dale R.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Cable Lubrication...

All,

    Motorcycle riders have been lubing brake and clutch cables on their machines for decades.  The "smart" ones use a lubricant designed for the job and a small tool to force the lubricant down the cable.      So, I agree, DO NOT use WD-40.  It is more of a cleaner than a lubricant.

    When I rode (before the advent of hydraulic clutch and brake cabling) I used one of these devices and can tell you that they work and work well...

    Not bad for a 17-buck deal (shipping INCLUDED)...
