Got a noisy one

Usually happy with Shimano and especially Ultegra, but this time I got a very noisy chain. (Yes, it was on the right direction.) It sounded like it was always rubbing the front derailleur, but it wasn't. After trying different lubes and fiddling with it, I noticed that the chain would jump on both of the front chainrings, and in several different places along the chain (i.e., not just a quicklink problem). I suppose I could have worked each link independently to find the culprits and see if I would get them to loosen up, but I just replaced it with a Sram, and now the bike is quiet as a mouse. Guess I just got a bad one.

Thank you for your feedback.

A Goliath of Durability for long miles and BIG climbs!!

The durability of the UltegraXT chain stands the test of hundreds of high torque elevation climbs on my Diverge, it's smooth and superb on my gear changes. Bravo

Thank you for your feedback.

It's a chain

This chain is exactly what I expected. Seems fine, and will go on my bike, when the old one is worn to the point of needing replacement. I'm sure it will work as advertised

Thank you for your feedback.

The Ultegra chain now sells at a lower price and just seems to work best on my Ultegra drivetrain.

Now with Kwik Link!

I like the smoothness, durability, and price of Shimano Ultegra chains. This one came with a quick link instead of a breakaway pin. Once I figured out how to install it, it was easier than the pin. You don't need the pliers. Just line up the link, and put pressure on the cranks to snap it into place.

Thank you for your feedback.
