Premier Ultra Glide Chain Lubrication




Product Highlight


I started waxing my own chains earlier this year and have really liked the experience so far. Especially at the times when the chain is dropped and not fearing the result of putting a chain with heavy black grease back on. And not having to clean the drive train has been really nice. It does require re-waxing every so many miles and it can tend to get a little noisy when it gets closer to time to re-wax. 


I have purchased the Ultra Optimized Chain for two bikes as well and the latest will come with the Ultra Glide applied. I thought I would give this chain lubrication a try and see how it goes over a span of time so for now I cannot comment.

Premier Tactical


Premier Tactical:

I've never posted this type of post of those things that I have never personally used, but I do find Premier Tactical bike very interesting. If the timing were right I believe I would jump on this now that they have a frame purchase option. Although the full set up at $5,500 seems like a sweet deal. I scrolled though the website and the Facebook page looking at their time invested in design and bringing this to market.

I plan to watch how this company and bike develops and look for reviews. I wonder if they would be interested doing the same for a aero-road frame? That's probably what my next purchase will be coming up in the next year or so. 

The website is a little hard to find if you don't know what to search.

Update 1/27/2017:

I have ordered a Premier Bike treated Connex chain to use in the new SRAM etap drive train update on my road bike. I like the idea for both how it is treated for lubrication and how it will not promote as much filth on the drive train when compared to standard wet lubrication.
