I’m pretty sure graphite was used on speedo cables as it would perform the same in winter as in summer. Speedo cables often got spooky in sub-zero weather. Graphite might seem like a good plan, but the graphite probably did not mix well with whatever lube/white grease might be in there first. If all clean and dry, graphite would work well. Combined with old lube it would probably act more like epoxy. Rich B.

People here are talking about the one that pulls out I think ... by the way , graphite lube seems not to work well imho long term , causes drag , noise and gear failure and speedo jump . I string it up ( whole cable ) and run Mobil 10-30 down it leave hanging a week . No more problems . Like white grease , a lot of these things I think are marketing scams ; no doubt the Mobil picks up some graphite , but oil won’t get hard. For non believers , why the noise , jumping and worn gears.. ?? “ Lubed with graphite. “. Also bearing fitting at speedo head inlet crucial to keep oiled (not grease ) ; factory grease there turns to tar .. Sent from my iPhone not by choice
