Again, frequency of use isn't relevant to this discussion. Not. At. All.

I think this is why the conversation is so difficult. You aren't even understanding some of the basics, though they've been...

You don't make sense. If "the road bikes have more mileage on them," that means that they "get used the most." Mileage is pretty much all that matter for shift cable wear and tear. But wait, you also...

Sigh. You've apparently been following the thread; can you really not understand this? There is no "magic mileage" since it also depends on how frequently you shift (i.e., whether you live in a...

As cxwrench and others have noted, mileage (rather than chronological age) is the key variable. Since I'm more into riding bikes than collecting them, my most ridden bikes get more miles per year...

Do you take the same approach with your car's motor oil?



I don't know what you're running and how much you ride per year, but my Shimano 11sp bike chews through RD cables much more often than...
