2 Grease Or Not 2 Grease

[BMXER]

O well, I'm in the minority here. I always wipe a super thin fingure of greese on the inner. I change cables in and out often and never had a dirt issue. Hitting 40k km on a bike I have never had a shifter wear or a cable stretch or break.   The outers do wear. But now run electric on both road and mtb so the proper answer to your question - what cable?

I'm sorry but in 20+ years of cycling I've never had a multi-strand steel cable stretch from a derailleur or brake. Just like people saying a chain stretches. 

JB, is that you?

Nope. Just another mechanical engineer on the bikehub.
