MirageDrive Idler Cables

Hobie MirageDrive Idler Cables with Lock Nuts

MirageDrive Idler cables help to distribute load evenly across all chains and cables. If your idler cable is looking rough it’s probably time to replace it. Note: it is important to get the tension on the idler cables correct, especially on MD180 type drives. See our article on MirageDrive chain & cable tension here

MirageDrive Idler cables are available in two types, version 2 and 3 (compatibility info below). V2 cables are identified by the flattened sides of the threaded ends (pictured above). V3 have fully rounded threaded ends. V3 cables can be installed on Miragedrives with V2 cables with a small modification
