Trac Cables

December 1, 2020

Trac cables have been terribly confusing since the 1980’s. You can see why; 3 kinds of part numbers, 4 kinds of brake cables not mentioned in parts manuals, and 8 kinds of incorrectly made replacement brake cables. Finally the clouds have cleared and the sun shines again!

D and S brake cables D (Deluxe) is for mag wheels. S (Standard) is for spoke wheels. The D inner wire was 0.5 inch longer than S, because the Grimeca brake (D) on mag wheels is different from the Duck Chang brake (S) on spoke wheels. 

Corrections The 1985-86 (M56 engine) Eagle and Hawk front and rear brake cables with codes M56 and MT1, were made incorrectly. The inner wire was 0.8 inch too short. In the listing here the incorrect exposed lengths are crossed out. Trac forgot to include the distance of the removable slotted adjuster 23224.

The 1984-86 (M56 engine) Clipper and 1984-90 (DMC engine) Escot, Sprint, Image with cable codes CL1 and HA1 had correctly-made replacement brake cables. The CL1 or HA1 inner wire was 0.3 inch longer than a M56-895D, or 0.8 inch longer than a M56-895S.
