See if george white do them, in last weeks MCN they had an offer, spend £25 or more and get a free goody bag of kit worth £75.

I'm very impressed with my scottoiler - flow rate is easy to set up - nicely oiled chain - and I can honestly say no oil on my rear wheel!!

Ok, so I've got oil trickling down mt rear arm, where the chain guard is collecting a little - bit its all good!!

+1 for Scottoilers, mine's kept my chain lubed up for the last 15,000 miles in all weathers.

As winters looming, and people are looking for them, it may well be worth you taking it out of said bucket, and popping it in the items for sale. :)

Opinions of whether to use the standard injector or is the optional twin injector the much preffered option? about to fit a standard one to the new bike. :confused:

Re: Scottoiler. What do I need?
 
I believe the twin injector isn't required (and some have said it's worse than the single I think).

I use the standard injector and have never had any probs.

Thanks for that, looks as though that's another £26 saved out of my pension. Plus what I guess is less heavy cleaning :thumbsup:

But just because you fitted it/adjusted it wrong doesn't make it a bad product.

Mines been on since about 15k, had a new chain on at 18k. Currently on 41k on the same chain. Never bought any oil, I just use anything I have kicking about, chainsaw oil, old engine oil, cheap new engine oil, whatever.

I did actually clean the chain once too.

Undoubtedly you may look at my back wheel and say "a scottoiler throws crap everywhere", but I bet a spray-can lubed bike would be just as bad if you'd not cleaned it in 31k miles.
