Best cable dry lube for brake and throttle?

[RickDizzle]

Ok I went down the rabbit hole of the internet trying to identify the best lubricant for brake and throttle cables that are sheathed. I for sure want a dry substance to prevent dust and grit from being attracted to them. Thinking a spray graphite or teflon. Even looked at motorcycle cable lube. What do you guys use and has worked and held up well?

I used to use silicone lubricant on my MC cables way back when. It sprays on wet, but dries out pretty quickly and leaves a nice slick film on everything.

Look into a product called TDL stands for the dry lube. Used it years ago works like a champ

Wet silicone spray gets my vote. I use that stiff a lot. Its good stuff.

Because if you use wet lube ,it will attract the fuzz bunnies!....

Was at my local dirt bike shop a lil while ago. Ran it by them just for giggles. They said they highly recommend Bike-Aid Dri-Slide. They said its supposed to be some of the best stuff out there for cable applications. Looks like its a dry moly lube.

Moly is great for that kind of use, we use a moly fortified grease on a lot of sliding surfaces that wont hold grease for long. Amazing how well it performs
