Steve, The sheaves might have some wear because of the old wire..  Mine were really smooth and haven't have any problems in nine years..
I was advised to check them before replacing the halyards. Lucky me, they were like new..

>> Hi Mark, all my halyards are rope and one is showing "suspicious" wear. It's my understanding, from a discussion here a few years ago, that the wire sheaves will take rope but will tend to wear it before its time. I'd suggest checking your sheaves to be sure they are smooth and then make your decision about whether to replace then.
