Bike Folk - Scottoilers
« on: 17 March 2009, 14:19:11 »
Just had the bike recovered to the garage as the chain went on the way to Uni, wouldn't mind, but I only checked it and oiled it 2 months ago!

Been recommended one of these now by a few people, so just wondering what the biking folk on here think of them or if they use them?

I know its no substitute to regular maintenance, but I'm just after something to give me extra peace of mind hoping that I won't have the same fun as today, especially after paying out for 2 new sprockets, chain, and some various other bits which were damaged...

Yes its going on a CG125, but it will be transferred over to whatever bike I get once I've finally got round to doing my test.

Taa :)

not had any experiance of them, but why not lubricate the chain every other weekend or something?  :-/

£85 (for a Yam MT-03) seams a bit much, just get a can of chain greese and use once a week, or ever other week?

Cos you forget or can't be 4r$ed by the time you get home.
There was one on my bike when I got it, it works OK, although I can't seem to be able to adjust between 'dry as a witch's or oil every where!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Bit like an ALDI filter lubricator on your airline, then. :-X

Top Tip: Don't adjust the lubricator too far or your garage gets hosed down in light oil at a pressure of 8 BAR. :-[
