I think so. I tried it years ago when it 1st came out because all the magazines raved about it. It plain sucks on a normal chain. No penetration and lubing properties what so ever, it just coats the chain and keeps it from rusting. It is what it says it is, a wax coating for your chain. Totally useless on a normal chain. Mine kinked all up in no time when I tried it. I ended up giving it away because it was good for nothing in my eyes.
