Absolutely!. I tried to purchase it as an ingredient, but it wasn't available at an affordable price, plus I knew that the supply was too limited for long term use. In the end I settled for Jean-Claude van Damme's.

While it isn't as effective as Norris's, van Damme's has the benefit of attracting less dirt.

You information was already given about 2 years ago, but your point is? Why resurrect ancient threads?

It is quite probable that pro mechanics use homebrew chain oil (dispensed from sponsor's containers) on their team bikes. Especially since the bikes are cleaned daily. The very best oil, in terms of a super silent drivetrain I've ever experienced was Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil (5W 20 or 10W 30) mixed 4 parts to Odorless Mineral Spirits. Just bliss in terms of effectiveness. The big problem? It was a dirt/crud magnet. I would think that this won't be an issue with drivetrains that are degreased and oiled daily. And since I can't degraese my chains daily, I settle for something less dirt-magnetic.
