Secret Chain lube also utilizes the world's fastest, most lubricious additive, nano-scale Tungsten Di-Sulfide. NanoPlatelet WS2 has less than 1/3 the dynamic coefficient of friction of PTFE and 1/4 that of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2)"

    Lets see how it compares when an independent person does a friction facts-esque test.

    I think somebody trying to avoid spurious claims might have written "contains". The basic facts about WS2 are OK, I just doubt that it's utilised in a way which will gain much, if any, benefit.

  • Yeah whatevz. It's not like they said it will save you 25 seconds on a 50k TT*.

    *if you ride at speed over 71km/h at 5000m altitude.
