> So my recommendation is to regularly lube the cables, and rigorously
grease the pulley bearings. Because the pulley bearings are deep within a
'sheeve' I recommend drilling a small hole (1/8") next to the pulley mounting
bolt so that a lubricant can be squirted directly into the bearing
It's probably not necessary. For years, UST (and others I'm sure) have
used pulleys with pressed-in sealed bearings so no attention is needed.
OTOH if your pulleys have bushings instead, periodic lubing is a good
practice.
