Where Atascocita cables actually wear
Down low — maximum flex meets floor moisture at the bottom bracket. Since half the homes in Atascocita were standing by 2005, the original cables of that era are the ones whiskering now.
Replace as a pair — both carry the same mileage — and treat a cable that has jumped its drum as a symptom: the drum, the tension or the track caused it, and re-seating without correcting the cause schedules the repeat.
