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