Its been 8 years since I lubed the speedo cable.
I don't remember it being teflon lined. That could just be my memory, which isn't all that wonderful any longer.
I don't think I've ever pulled a speedo cable and found it teflon lined.
In fact I don't remember any speedo cables being teflon lined 40 years ago.
Could your teflon lined cable be a newer, replacement cable?
My Pantera's cable is definitely the original gangster.
Urbain ... a bouncing needle can definitely result from a poorly lubricated cable. 30% too much speed ... I can't say.
