just fitted these and struggled to get the indexing right on rear derailleur

only problem is difficulty shifting up from 6th to 7th - won't quite go and needs an extra click up so the chain skips a sprocket

I did run a bit of wd40 (not a lube I know) down the inner before installing

will lube help - and if so what?

    Do you mean to a larger or smaller cog.
    Sounds more like an indexing or fitting issue if they are new. I use them and no indexing issues. Can't see lube helping as the cables run inside the liner.

    shifting from larger cog to smaller ie. 'up' a gear

    That's how I understand up but you'd be amazed how many people don't. Are they new cables?

    yep - entirely new set of mudlovers, inners, sheaths and outers.

    I'm assuming you didn't lube?
