Scottoiler - chain fling?

Those of us that use chain lube in a can know what tosh the "anti-
fling" message is. I cleaned my wheels up lovely yesterday, went for a
100 mile ride and now they're bloody filthy again. Not only does it look
bad but it's dangerous as well because some of the lube creeps off the
wheel and onto the edge of the tyre.

So, if you use a scottoiler, have you noticed this or is it "clean wheel
heaven"

Also, how much does a brand new scottoiler 7 cost, about £70?

Cheers

Seem to recall still having oily wheels when I had my GSXR1100 with the
scottoiler (made worse by the wheels being white I guess)

I ahve to confess that I get *very* little fling from the Loobman
thing. None of it (AFAICT) reaches the wheel itself

Thanks!

 

Remember to alter the rate of flow as the viscosity of the oil will change
in warmer weather just enough to cause it to pour out, apparently.

I think I threw my Loobman out. I put it all together but lost patience
with the cable tie oil dripper bits :-(

Right, I'm off for the weekend :-D

TTFN.

 

Yes it does, you can indeed adjust the flow to prevent it getting onto
the tyre.

the Scottoil (or whatever you decide to use) is a lot easier to remove than
something like Motorex chainlube which makes a fine adhesive for sticking
brake dust to your wheel.

Did it not work? Mines does fine

_If_ you can remember to give the little fella a squeeze at all the
right intervals. Going on long hoons and forgetting does not go down
quite so well.

It will fling oil on the wheel regardless IME - if you set it up correctly
though it will not put oil on the TYRE. I think it's supposed to do that
because it's getting rid of some of the crap that would otherwise stick to
the chain.

Oil on the wheel bothers me nothing - bit of WD40 and it wipes off easily.

That said, you will find that everything in the region of the front sprocket
will rapidly be covered in oil and gunk, but that doesn't seem to make much
difference in the scheme of things.

 

Squeeze it? WTF for? I just twiddel the little knob to alter the oil flow

I believe scottoil is the same as chainsaw oil? At least, many people
have suggested using the latter. And I can tell you that it's got to
be the most sticky substance called 'oil' known to man. Sticker than
Saudi crude, it is, and harder to wash off.

 

I find Scottoil to be a remarkably easy to wipe off, but I admit to
liberal application of WD-40 on a rag to help it along. 23k miles on
the original chain with a Scottoiler, and it looks to have plenty of
life in it.

Aksherly I've been using chainsaw oil since the original Scottoil was
depleted, and as far as I can tell it's the same stuff, except there's
no dye in it.

You want sticky, that black PJ1 moly shite is by far the stickiest
substance I have ever deliberately applied to a bike. I never got more
than 10k miles out of a chain when using spray chain lubes, despite
being fairly conscientious about applying lube every 300 miles or so.
