the speedo cable is in a tight space so it's quite hard to get the lubing
device in there. I use silicone spray (thiner than chain lube) and lube
with a straw till it fill up to the top of the cable, wait a bit so gravity
will get it down, then I use a compressed air can with a straw a give a
blast. The blast of will force the liquid go farther down the cable. Repeat
the fill + blast of air about 10 times...
