    Hi All,

    I went for a spin today and it went well enough, but I had some issues
    with sticking cables. I took my road bike which as been hanging in my
    shed in the salty air for a while.

    For my springtime new bike project, I'd like to perhaps try some other
    cables to avoid this corrosion problem. The cables are Shimano and the
    housing is Shimano and some Jagwire. It seems like I replace cables
    all the time, and when I pull them out they are always rusty and
    corroded.

    What to do?

    Try Boeshield T-9. Originally developed by Boeing for use in air frames. Can
    be a little difficult to find. Works as a great light lube and rust
    preventative and also does a good job of breaking up rust. Not a bad chain
    lube but it builds up some junk on the jockey wheels over time. Got turned
    on to it by a bike shop that used it to maintain their rental bikes on the
    beach in Port Aransas, TX.
