As always The Oracle is on the case, the quick release on the cables are truly awesome to behold
, the experiment with beef dripping as a lube was not a success however, the trikie who used it was last seen going through Slough pursued by 237 dogs 23 cats and 5 RSPCA vans

I found that despite GT85 through the Middleburn oilers I still had freezing problems, I changed to Makt lube (a slighter more oily lube) and a good squirt of Muc Off C3 lube into the twistgrip shifters through the cable replacement holes, result - silky smooth changing and braking down to minus 11 (so far).
With the Middleburn oilers the problem lies with all the moisture and crap being driven to each end of the cable in this instance into the twistgrip, problem is sorted, save money and lube properly, more to spend in the pub
