Salt air shortens hardware life on this coast

Webster sits close enough to salt water for corrosion to be the limiting factor on hardware life. Rust raises friction between spring coils and frays lift cables at the bottom bracket, which is why components here fail well short of their rated cycle count.

Expect springs to run 7 to 9 years and budget for galvanised hardware on replacement. It costs more up front and it is the difference between one replacement and three.

Salt air attacks the lift cable at the bottom bracket first, where floor moisture sits. Frayed strands there are the warning sign, and they show up years before the rated cycle count.
