Where Grantsville cables actually wear
The bottom bracket junction, which spends Grantsville winters damp. Frozen-door mornings compound it: forcing the opener against ice snap-loads both cables simultaneously, which is how a frozen seal turns into a cable job.
Cables go on in pairs; the second has the same mileage as the one that failed. And a cable found off its drum is evidence, not the crime — something in the drum, tension or track put it there, and fixing only the cable books the same call again.
Grantsville against its neighbours
The measurements shift town by town: Tooele sits at 5,020 ft with 102.9 freeze–thaw cycles; Magna sits at 4,265 ft with 84.5 freeze–thaw cycles; and Herriman sits at 4,987 ft with 102.2 freeze–thaw cycles.
This page runs on Grantsville's numbers (93 freeze–thaw cycles, 1998 median build, 4,298 ft of elevation) — close to the neighbours', never identical, which is exactly the point of measuring per city.
