It might help to keep your housings well-lubricated with a light oil like tri-flow. Hi Alex,

We get the range of weather -20 f to 90+ f. So I need a good housing which can withstand, meaning keep out, the abuse of the salt on our roads. Do you know anything like that, or should i just keep replacing the housing like I always do? Thanks, Alex Hey Alex,

Once they're installed they'll stay in place. On modern cable housings/ferrules, there is no need to crimp them. Once they’re installed they’ll stay in place.

What kind of tool can I buy to make this crimp when I put together the new housing and ferrules? Hi Alex,

I prefer to use light oil. It's a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer to grease the cables. I prefer to use light oil. It’s a matter of personal preference.
