I was also wondering if lubing the cable would be a noticeable improvement. I have not done it in the past. And as I was browsing AliX i found these prelubed cable guides with some dust caps: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001046329415.html

I do not know how useful the dust caps are but their description was just too good to not to try them.  :D
(It was just funny to read how many iterations they had before finding the right structure for the end caps.)

The frame has full outer cabling so my plan is to run the cables in these prelubed guides through the full length of the bike with these dust caps at end. My expectation is that dust will not really get into the system with these steps. Time will tell.

If you are testing soon, let me know... right now I run bare shift cables through the frame.... would love to see how it would work...

Is that BP944CF-RS805 ? I need to get a new pair. Joke was I was trying to ceramic coat my frame, and I think some of that leak onto the brakepads. LOL.. So not exactly braking now no matter how hard I press.

The original brake pads squeak very loudly when I brake and it "ate" into the disc rotor (Ultegra), so I'm kind of pissed.

Yes the 944-RS805 are the ones I bought.
Fitting size is 29.5mm x 16.5mm with a width of 26mm

Current using this "OG-EVKIN HB-1300 Carbon Road Integrated Handlebar OD2 28.6/31.8mm " . It's really easy to cable and I really like it. Would be changing though as I found that the 100mm is too long for me, and I want to get a 70mm or 80mm but seems like the shortest for HB-1300 is 90mm.

Ah, for cables I just bought a file box of TRLREQ Teflon coated brake cables and shifter cables.
Cheap, I’ve got cables for years, and they do the job.

I used normal steel cables type of brake cables. Throw away a couple because some were (very very slightly) thicker and rougher than others and makes it difficult to move, so brake releases were slow or ineffective. I used some teflon chain lube on the cable before I insert it in, and it was smoother. Not sure the long term effect though but so far, it's being fine after about 1000km.

im currently running jagwire sport inner cables and i was previously using jagwire pro. cant feel any difference in stopping power and the weight difference is negligable. Im also running ables fully internally with an intergrated stem and juin tech brakes.

Which juin tech model?
