Default Re: Scottoiler vacuum feed, where from?

Can't remember which one I used now Denis, I had a couple of spare T pieces in the garage and I may have used one of them. Biggest job was finding somewhere suitable to put the reservoir, there's a distinct lack of upright frame members and spars to use on the Curvy. I ended up wrapping it in a piece of anti-slip mat and cable tying it to part of the frame under the rider's seat.
I'm looking out for a dual injector to go on it now.

Great piece of kit though - cheers for that Denis.

Dual injector is a waste of time

A you don't need it. There is no advantage whatsoever beyond the weight saving from your wallet.
B they're less reliable
C they cost money


I think if I got 25k+ from a chain then there is no problem with a normal oiler not doing the job properly eh

I guess it depends on where you're trying to aim the oil. Should you be aiming it at the rollers or should it be going into the area between the sideplates?
Or both?

It works it's way around the area quite well if you just let the sprocket distribute it for you
