Ugh! Cable bad! Juice good!

Steve. I know properly working hydraulics are superior to cable steering,
but seriously. Is it an overriding must have or you will die when not
dealing with side torque? Especially if you already have a complete
perfectly working dual cable steering system.


You are the one that asked the question.


I didn't ask if hydraulic steering was superior to cable steering. I asked
if there was any reason other than side torque not to use a perfectly
functional cable steering system already in hand. He did not answer that
question.

Quit being such a dickhead.


But he didn't answer the question I asked, and made some statements that are
not 100% correct. While most were not majorly incorrect they still really
didn't answer the question asked. He just gave the kneejerk slap of
superiority at it and made an absolute statement that didn't really apply to
the question.

Further, he never followed up with what other maintenance cable steering
systems might need that would cost more to maintain than hydraulic systems
in his further reply.
