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:
81171002 DRUM UPDATE KIT V1 TO V2 $119.99 ($174 value)
This kit includes:
| 2 | 81173001 | DRUM – V2 |
| 2 | 81202001 | CHAIN ASSY, MIRAGEDRIVE V2 |
| 1 | 81121001 | IDLER PULLEY (PLASTIC DRUM) |
| 1 | 81203001 | IDLER CABLE, MIRAGEDRIVE V2 |
| 5 | 8050111 | NUT 1/4-20 HX NYLOCK |
GT upgrade would require new sprockets and masts as well and is about twice this price.
