    So, I got one of those thingees that clamps around the end of the cables so
    you can squirt aerosol lube down inside. Is it just me, or do you have to
    disconnect the end of the cable to get enough access to attach the luber
    widget? (Considering all the other things I've mucked with, it's silly to be
    reluctant to disconnect/reconnect/adjust cables, but if I can avoid it...)

    First thing you gotta do is find out if the cable is designed
    to be lubed. The ones on my bike are nylon lined and
    you are strongly advised not to oil them as the lube
    will react with the nylon lining.

    First thing you gotta do is find out if the cable is designed
    Considering it's a 1981 Honda, methinks the cables were old-tech enough that
    the alternative to lubing was new cables...
