chain adjustment interval

[PieEater]

I've never liked Scottoilers, the 3 bikes I've bought that have them fitted have had bone dry chains so the Scottoilers obviously needed attention so I've taken them straight off. The mechanics I've spoken to about  them dont like them either. As far as I can tell a Scottoiler is going to take as much maintenance to keep it functioning correctly as you'd spend properly lubricating your chain anyhow so there is no point. Assuming you look after your bike you'll be cleaning it fairly regularly, after a wash take it out for a ride to dry it off and then once you're back clean and lubricate the chain, I use a EPO80 Gear oil for lubrication and every now and then use a chain cleaner to get rid of the muck that the chain picks up, followed by a nice coating of oil.
