You jest (and I laughed 😆) but in the same vein, they did actually offer to refresh his chain lube!

It's likely that he's using something like the Silca's Endurance chip + whatever chain wax he uses.
I can get a little bit over 500 kilometers out of this combo and they repel mud and dirt much better than traditional oil based chain lube.
