Clutch cable shouldn't really be lubed.
I just fitted a Slinky Glide clutch cable from Wemoto, and it feels very light and smooth. Plus I sprayed a load of grease into the clutch cable housing too while it was off, which no doubt helped things a bit as well.

Just an update on the Slinky Glide clutch cable, it lasted 7 months.
For the last month or so I had to keep adjusting it, then after a couple of times of adjusting it from the bottom end as well I realised that it had had enough when the top adjuster had no more to give.
Bear in mind these cables cost under a tenner, and an OEM one cost me £55, which I fitted this morning, but even still I would've expected it to last a bit longer than that.
It started off feeling a bit stiffer than it should be so I oiled the cable, which did help, but it was all far too soon, I shouldn't have needed to do that after only a few months.

I think it's only fair on people that I should retract the comments about the Slinky Glide clutch cable, as it turned out that my clutch pressure plate was fractured and not performing correctly, causing irregular and random action.
So I basically binned what was probably a good cable.


OEM will always be better, but don't be put off trying out the Slinky Glide cable if you're on a budget.
