I used to use spray cans and things like that to loob e chain, then I bought a Scottoiler, then 3 months later sold e bike. I bought another bike and pay another 160$ for another Scottoiler and sold that bike. Bought another bike and another 160$ for yet another Scottoiler. Then I sold that bike away.

 

Lat year I go my current bike and decoide Mr Scottoiler already make enough dough from me. SO now I use a configutation of tubes, cable ties and bottles and made my own system. I still use e scottoil.

 

So no more sprays cans and yes the automatic chain oiler does preseve the O-RING chain life, and no need to keep retensioning it.

I thought you can re-use the same Scottoiler? Just remove and reinstall to your new bike.....

Rabbit Oiler 2 - Manual version

 

I also use spray chain loob as well. Environmentally friendly. Except the oil, no harmful propellant gasses or waste. Can use any oil, even branded chain oil, and starship trooper low cost.

 

Want to know ??????

 

Want free sample ?

There are 3 type of chains in the market. the very basic heavy duty chain with no O ring , the O ring chain and X ring chain. The O ring is selaed with grease inside so to prolong the chain livespan. The best of all is the O ring. Price is OK and can last for about 30-40k if you take care of the chain.They have different models of chain for different bikes. wash, clean, lube and adjust the chain when require. You can also use Kerosene to wash your chain. cheap and good.

I'm using Iris Gold X Ring chaain size 530 with PJ1 chain lube.

 

I think they perform pretty well.

 

PJ1 chain lube is good becos it is a very thin liquid on application which can flow into the tiny crevices of the chain and then the properties of the liquid quicky thickens up forming a wax/gel like substance for solid lubrication.

 

also it looks much better than those foamy type of chain lube.

i have been doing this:

 

using PJ chain oil to oil the the joints and the centre part, then I use chain wax on the centre part to dry it.. my mechanic recommend it.. what do you guys say? I am using x-ring chain.

 

also, sometimes, as my chain wax is white in colour, the remants over the week gets left behind (patches of white) and sometime can see sand/soil on the chain.. what should i use to remove them?

 

thanks

a heavy downpour like yesternight's, will wash your singer oil away easily.

Everytime you had a servicing, keep the remaining engine oil for your chain lub. best as it is thicker than sewing oil. it will not stay on the chain for long so you need to lub frequently. also will not trap dirt onto chain. and it can use to lub clutch cable too.

 

If you want to use chain lub, please remember to wash chain or all dirt will trap on you chain. you chain will have a shorter life.

SAFETY FIRST!!!
