How'd you fit all that in? Lol

Call the manufacturer and get their advice. If for some reason their recommendation hurts the cables then it's on them. There's been post in the past of cables having bad reactions with certain lubes

^Any shop that has a Tucker Rocky/Bikers Choice account should be able to order it for you. I would ship you some but I am sure with shipping costs the price would get out of hand pretty quickly...

Check with the makers of the braided lines.
Some recommend NOT using lube as it will leak through and discolor the lines.
A lot of money wasted when the lines look out of sorts.
Some are teflon lined and don't need any extra lube.
