Speedo cable noise...

[Trapdoor2]

Based on searching the forum, greasing the speedo cable is another one of those "everybody uses something different" subjects. I have a gun full of Moly grease and one of Red lithium grease. Snyder's sells a tube of speedo-cable grease, but unless I buy a new unit, I'll use what I have. I may have to toss a coin...

Oddly, mine seems to happen on the same spot in my neighborhood loop...but not every time thru. It is silent until it ain't. Typically, I run 5-6 miles before it starts making noise...and then, suddenly, it is loud...and as soon as I come to a full stop, the noise stops (of course) and then doesn't come back for several more miles. The speedo itself doesn't seem affected. It is stable and smooth thru its range (at least, up to ~45...as fast as I've been so far).

So, I'm about to pull the speedo cable (and housing), clean it, inspect and re-grease.

Tips? Techniques? Preferences?
