ATTN Older model Hobie owners
 

Specifically pertaining to V1 Mirage drives. Hobie has discontinued replacement parts and I just sold my last v1 chain I had in stock. They have put together an upgrade kit at a discounted price.

Quickest way to identify a V 1 is the idler cable has a copper cap on one side, where v2 has a nut on both sides.

This still uses your V1 sprockets and masts, If your chain breaks you will have to replace the following:

This kit includes:

GT upgrade would require new sprockets and masts as well and is about twice this price.
