His choice i guess, scott oiler oils the C&S, stand can be used for more.
I guess if i did 20k a year i might consider one, but ive yet to keep a bike long enough to prove / disprove my method of oiling chain. Im sure they do work, i have one on my drz, i just personally dont like them. End of the day its my money or Ralphs, if i have to spend £100 every 3 years on a new C&S is it really that big a deal? |

Wasting your time, lads.
He's got his eye on a Beemer & his next poll will be: What would you spend 100 notes on: A) Pipe B) Slippers C) One last shot at the wh0re next door

I did 10k+ on my 600rr without ever needing to adjust the chain, that was just lubing occasionally (takes 2 mins) and cleaning every now and then (5mins).
If your doing 10K+ a year then maybe its worth buying a scott oiler, otherwise sod that, its not worth the effort.

So? I'm actually commenting on the principle of treating the least informed point of view as equal to the most rather than weighing up the facts of all arguments and making an informed choice. Surely with me moaning about that it would be hypocritical of me to join in?

well i do a fair few miles a year, at the very least i do 150 a week but thats usually around 300 a week and more in the summer ok so its not a lot compared to many but enough to warrant my argument, ok so i have a abba stand it cost £99 i dont have an scottoiler because quite frankly i dont like sh*t all over my bike.
if some one gave me money to by A: abba stand B: scottoiler i would chose the abba stand every time, it has paid for its self at least twice now. but if it was scottoiler vs paddock stands then i would go with the scottoiler as i dont think paddock stands are very good. |

I thought Abba stands were a lot more expensive than that so I had never really looked or considered one. Just looked at the Abba stand website at a video and seen one in use. You could drop engines, remove swingarms, get either wheel off the floor & do forks. I could easily make my own fitting so it fits the XT600 as well.
It's a no brainer, I'm getting an Abba stand. Thanks Barwel. Informed opinions my ar$e. Why did nobody else suggest that? Think out of the box people ![]() ![]() Last edited by -Ralph-; 31-01-11 at 11:49 AM. |
