Alcohol and, (more), drugs.

Scottoilers for £60? Where be that? I always thought they were more and could do with one for the new chain on the way!

I reckon it paid for itself within the first chain actually.
Ditto... I get 2-3 times the life out of chains and sprockets with the oiler fitted. The oiler is little more than half of the money spent on a decent chain and sprocket set.
Take the money saved and then get a paddock stand. Until then a milk crate will suffice.

Is not oiling your chain regular like at least every 200 miles just as effective as as a Scott oiler?
