Rainbow is rural unincorporated agricultural and ranch territory at the north edge of San Diego County. Hot summers, freeze winters, extreme fire risk, almost universal detached oversized garages.. Inland rollers flat-spot faster than you'd expect because garages hit 110°F+ in summer and cheap nylon bushings melt and deform.
Why replace both cables if only one is frayed?
Cables are a matched pair under identical load across identical cycles. If one frayed or snapped, the other is at the same fatigue point even if it still looks okay. Replacing them together costs a bit more than one, and you're not back here in three months when the second cable gives up.
Nylon rollers versus steel, worth the upgrade?
Almost always yes. A good 13-ball-bearing nylon roller runs quiet for 20,000+ cycles. A builder-grade steel roller is loud from day one and flat-spots in 5 to 8 years. Easy call.
