It does not necessarily mean that if your cable does not have any signs of wear and tear,
you can still use it. The cable should be changed every 5 years, regardless of condition. If
there is any doubt during inspection of the condition of the cable, replace it with a new
one. If in the unlikely event, a chain break occurs, a new cable must be used as well as a
new chain.
Internal Wear:
Internal wear can be detected by the tell tale signs of a loosening of strands
and the presence of powdered fiber. It is most often caused when grit becomes trapped in
a cable which is repeatedly flexed in wet conditions. If signs of this are detected, replace
cable.
Attack by heat:
This may be revealed by glazing of the cable surface. In extreme cases
local fused sections indicate heat through friction and a considerable loss of strength can
be expected. If, after careful visual examination, doubts still exist, discard the cable or
consult the cable manufacturer.
Maintenance after Inspection:
Any cable which has broken through any of above criteria
should be discarded and replaced.
