Oil spatter on tyre from Scottoiler

[SVGrandad]

I use the twin feed pipe because I found it easier to mount, but I wont admit to using one as it upsets Mr Squid!

From talking to the guys at Scottoiler (Mark to be precise) they reckon the 'fling' is more often than not caused by the oil dripping out the the delivery pipe and being 'whipped' past the chain and onto the tyre. Not by oil being whipped off the chain onto the tyre. Therefore by delivering the oil directly to the chain this potential problem is eliminated.

Of course I imagine that if your flowrate is way too high you could saturate your chain and excess may 'fling' off - but this can be rectified by simply turning your flowrate down to an acceptable level such that the chain is well lubricated but not overly so.

Oh and just to add, Mark reckoned a standard single delivery system, properly set-up, is fine for 'summer' riding but recommended the slipperblock for people who commute in all weathers as a better alternative.
