FWIW, you can also use chain lube to lube cables (if you have some sitting around and are too cheap to buy dedicated cable lube [who, me?]).
Also, I used Maxima Chain Wax to lube the rear brake cable, since it is so stout. I use regular chain lube for my cables.
As far as the speedo cable goes, take it out, clean it up with a clean rag, and put a
light coat of axle grease on it. Put it back in and you're good to go!
