While on my learning project of fixing up a junker, I liberally coated all the cables with bicycle grease. (Not cooking oil, but bad enough! ) anyone know a quick way to clean it up, or do I have to take everything apart again and wash it before oiling? Sticky brakes, sticky shifters....

Well, it was meant to be a learning project, and I learned something. (For one thing, I intend to let my LBS do all necessary repairs on my GOOD bike!)
