I'm going to give theirs a go. I like the sound of their muscle rubs too, ooeer missus.
Yebbut they have dudes pressure washing their bikes every night and redoing the lube.
There's loads of stuff the pros do that I'm not remotely interested in emulating
My butler washes and re-lubes mine.Superstition sets the whole world in flames; philosophy quenches them.

I do sometimes consider whether I'm doing more harm than good by using solvent - that I'm removing the lube from inside the pins/rollers where it is really needed. In winter though the crap that accumulates can't be doing the chain any good and so I keep cleaning it thoroughly.......FFS! Harden up and grow a pair

Nope. Strip it back to clean, then put clean lube on. Otherwise, you're just diluting contaminated crud.0 -

The reason being sponsorship. Morgan blue is perfectly viable stuff, but it's not a magic potion. The MB bottles on the pro team trucks could actually contain 3in1 for all we know.0 -

I don't think they would paint 3-in-1 all over the chain and cassette before a water wash.0 -
