The difference in resistance from the best to the worst lube is very small, likely 1-2 watts. The highest claim I’ve seen is 6 watts. I find it rather suspect that anyone can reliably feel that difference pedaling.
I’d bet dollars to donuts no one could pick out chain lube brands in a double blind study from pedaling,effort.
no no - I don't feel a difference when pedaling
I notice a difference when I push / rotate a pedal / crank backwards with my hands when off the bike (when placing the bike into our car / suv)
it's fairly noticeable
for reference - on one bike the prev chain lube was Muc Off ; the other bike the prev chain lube was NFS
