Hi! Ron
IMHO just use some very light oil in the Tufnol . and don't use any oil
on the cables since it will collect grit and so cause wear. The newness
will soon wear off and your feet and legs have much more power any way
then of course you need to remember that you are stretching the springs
on the pedal returns.

Subject: Europa-List: What is best lubricant for wire rope and Tufnal?
Hi Group
Rudder drive is nowcompleted in our XS Monowheel.
First question is what would be a good lubricant to get rid of a squeek
in the Tufnal rudder pedal bushings that would not swell them?
Second question is the rudder cables themselves have a bit more friction
than I would like where they run through nylon tubing (slight change in
direction in some areas). What would be a good lubricant for rudder
cable wire rope that would not hurt nylon? (Pointer finger can move
rudder pedals, but not pinkey at moment, worst deviation is 8 degrees)
