cable lube

What's the best lube for the brake & clutch cable? can you use chain lube? I'm guessing WD40 will make things a bit sticky in the long run.

Find some cheap silicone spray. Do not last long but very smooth and no worries about attracting dirt.

I use Yamaha off-road chain lube. The graphite in it seems to work really well with cables. Not too tacky, so doesn't interfere with cable action.
