 |
|
| I got a new one. very nice, but it doesnt have any lube on the inner cable? are they teflon? I can still feel it's a bit "grabby" when i push the clutch in and before anyone ask's I have installed it 100% rite with not sharp bends. what lube would be the best? |

It should be lubed from the factory. It's quite possible they use a teflon lining in the cable sleeve. If there are no grease nipples on it (never seen any on a Gemini cable yet) it should not need any further greasing. Don't expect grease to be oozing from both ends of it!
