Default Who's got a Loobman?

http://www.loobman.com/index.html

I been told about these guys at work - as I have about 3 cans of spray left over from miss daytona, then was considering a scottoiler.

Does anyone here have a Loobman? It does look a little mickey mouse but just wanted to know how well it works and the various applications.

I bought one for 99p on ebay a while back just to try it out.Very crude and basic and a bit of a hassle so I took it off.(Before it fell off as thats what it looked like it was going to do.)

I also thought the loobman looked a little too simple, and its effectiveness also looked dubious.

I opted for a motrax "lubetronic" for one bike, and a scottoiler for the other. The lubetronic is fully electronic; both work very well.

I had one on the last bike and bits would fall off of it, though it did the job OK. Just stuck a scottoiler on current bike - much less hassle and the chain is always clean and well oiled. For £60 (ebay) and about 30 mins fitting time it's well worth it.
Loobman is easier to fit but needs to be stored somewhere easily accessible.

Fit a Scottoiler, don't bother with inferior copies.

I have used a loobman for the past 5,000 miles. Its very basic but does it very well as the scotoiler. Only problem it drips oil if you squeeze the bottle too much for a short ride. I do have both the loobman and scotoiler, but if your on a budget and don't mind getting messy at it then the loobman is the best kit.

This is funny, loobman invented the double sided oil feed before Scottoiler, so who is copying who?
