Lets try an speak from experience shall we. I dont think any of of you have actually tried it. the OP asked if any one has tried it. the answer here is only I have of the people that have posted.
On the lubes no mention of static is made by the retailers in the U.K that sell it. Try reading the reviews.
Here are a few. No advertising has been spent with any of these sites either (for the skepitcal amongst you). Unless of course you all think the people who use it are all wrong.

There is plenty on the web if you care to read it rather than making assumptions.
well cycleclinic, seems the cycleclinic website talks about it in great detail.
Resistance is futile, the potential difference lends our fun poking current here is the cycleclinics view on it https://thecycleclinic.co.uk/collection ... nd-greases
"How the lube works and how to use it.
The formulation goes deep down into the chain and traps any dirt. Then, with the energy of the chain freewheeling backwards, the dirt and grit floats to the surface so you can wipe it all off, leaving a new and clean application of lube inside the chain, where it’s needed. The lube down inside the chain creates a protective membrane to seal out dirt and moisture from the moving parts of the chain. As well as holding in place the best lube on the planet, for longer chain life, super smooth shifting and pedaling.
Bicycles, being on rubber tires, are not grounded, making the bicycle a static electricity machine. As the bicycle rolls along, positive charge build up will bring dirt and dust particles from the road onto the bike. The bike will discharge and do it all over again, bring up more dirt. Ever wonder why you have a perfect dust line on the front of your fork blades or on the cable housings. That’s how the bike gets dirty on the road, on dry days. The dirt is also going to stick to whatever is sticky on the bike. Of course, the chain is the number one spot. Road bikes generally tend to pick up more dirt from the discharge, so a thicker, dryer membrane is needed. On the other hand, the mountain bike needs something that can take lots of dust, and/or muddy slop being kicked up on the chain from the front wheel. With water crossing, too!"

:oops: I do.
It's only on the rollers though. After only a few minutes I have to be very careful of reaching for anything not on the bike, and careful of nearby objects (my roller are in the shed). Touching anything grounded results in a huge spark, it's taken out an RCD in the past.
I'm pretty certain that the static is built up from friction of the tyres with the plastic rollers, I've found that putting chalk on the tyres helps a bit, I've never experienced it on the road.

I suspect this has become a self filing thread

Do you have a link to this please? I have to read it to improve my knowledge.
Here you are MF learn all about your bicycle as "a static electricity machine"

the MFs admit that everyone has to make a living but there is hyperbole and there is hyperbole: its a bit naughty to jump on the trendy cycling bandwagon and sell a really small amount of grease at a ridiculous price to the uninitiated.
its not just rock n roll, the choice of Elvis, who are guilty though - a search on any web cycle thingy shows umpteen companies all doing the same.
cracking review of the grease on the website though. enough science to baffle.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

No doubt I'll get slaughtered for saying this, but I've been using Rock n Roll super web grease (not to mention the extreme chain lubricant) for perhaps 10 years and am not looking for alternatives.0
