I know a few people with Scottoilers fitted who've got a Lubtronic or Loobman thrown at the back of their garage.

I had a device called a lubetronic on my first bike, back in '98. If it's the same device then I can report it works fine, but getting the oil rate set is tricky as it only pumps when bike is in motion.... this means ride a while, check chain, adjust flow, ride etc....

Ever since then I have had scottoilers on my bikes and find that these work just as well with the added bonus that the oil rate is easier to set up. Scottoilers are also serviceable and spares are cheap and easy to come by, Lubetronic is junk once it goes wrong.

If you don't fancy fitting a Scottoiler then how about one of these?

quite basic, but got a Ride magazine recommended rating, plus its been updated since I last looked.

Its now got twin feeds to lube the chain.

Plus its only £18

I did look at these, but being a lazy sod and having a memory like a sieve I would end up with lots of little oil slicks.
