>  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.
