This may be ok if you like your bike to look like it has just been dredged up from the bottom of the canal, but I like mine to look nice so will stick to my dry lube & regular clean thanks. |

This is the thing that I don't find hard to understand, but so many people don't get: If it's peeing oil everywhere it isn't adjusted right.

Re: Leaking Scottoiler.
I never gave a fook what the SV looked like, just so long as I didn't have to touch the chain except for replacing it every 30k+ miles.
Anti-corrosion, innit. Really couldn't be *rsed with actually "maintaining" a chain, spending hours scrubbing away with a toothbrush... must be no decent pubs near you people. Then again some weeks I could rack up 1000 miles... that would be 10 lubings and 2 cleans if you want decent chain life!

Re: Leaking Scottoiler.
i'm sorta in the Y_C camp as i just want to turn my key and go but unlike Y_C i do actually clean my bike.
the lube tube i fitted is working out great as it only gets filled once between and at service intervals so even less mucking around. my bike is a toy/stress relief and i don't care about resale value as i'll never sell it. i don't look at the bike when i'm riding and as long as it's working then i'm happy. it takes me places that i want to go and is fun while doing it. oohhh and my bike is also a test bike for the items i sell. if they don't work or last on my bike then they don't get put up for sale. yes i have a box full of 'ideas' that never lived up to expectations  each to their own and all that jaz but i just think there is more to life than scrubbing a chain and fussing over every little blemish. |
