Where Kaysville cables actually wear
The bottom bracket junction, which spends Kaysville 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.
