Default braided cables.

Having stainless cables fitted, they are not sheathed in plastic, so for those of you that have them,do you treat them with anything,wd40,polish or leave them as nature intended,thanks.

Default RE: braided cables.

I bought Barnett Platinum Braided cables. They are great.They have abrillant shine, and a nice coating to protect them and my chrome. I also have Goodridge matching Platinum braided brake lines. I think the whole set up looks awesome. They go nice with my new 14" chubby apes. I can't be happier. JMHO

what is the best lube for braided cables? One that won't discolor them.

You can buy clear heat-shrink sheathing. Don't know anything about it - just that it exists.
