but what is an extra 10 mins to properly clean and lube your chain when you wash it (scotoilers dont clean)
my bikes are misused, mistreated and generally given a hard time but when it comes to maintenance they are looked after
forget buying a scotoiler and just buy a paddock stand as it far more usefull for everything
when you say you are using a continuous chain do you mean one that is riveted - i should hope so as split link chains shouldnt be used on bikes this size (the previous owner fitted one and it didnt end well for me but could have been worse if it flung the link 10 mins earlier)
With a Scottoiler my chain has been clean - and lubed. Practically never needed to clean it since the installation of the system. It does fling off, along with all the stuck dirt, and is continuously reapplied, of course.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
