most people will probably be adding it to a dirty chain and then it'll do 3/8ths of fuck all?

Well, maybe more like 1/8th of what could be achieved by coating the parts before assembly.

If you get the chain clean (multiple passes through the ultrasonic in a solvent, then bake out any residue) and then vacuum impregnate with the WS₂ colloid, you might be getting somewhere, but a tiny little bottle isn't going to do it, you need to immerse the chain.

So I was right? It's basically the chain lube equivalent of some gym junkie sport supplement.

It showed 68% increase in force generation in a sample of invitro mouse calf muscle so CrushedCauliflowerBulkMATRIX4000™ is now included in ARSE RIPPER pre-workout for maximum GAINZ!

TBF they don't make silly claims about the additive. It barely registers on the 1 to 10 scale of Cycling Industry Marketing BS.
