Drip on chain was messy after several tests. So im using the sprocket drip now.

 

Very close view

Its dirty because i sprayed a light layer of maxima chain wax as the engine oil(10w40) will run off under heavy rain or not using the bike for long.

 

With the outlet positioned that way, it shields away from the tyres which results in no mess on the tyres. Also, the sprocket will "carry the oil" and spins it at high velocity to the inner parts of the chains. Fling off will be on the ground.

I think its ok, mine is also like that, prefer wet look on my chain.

 

Btw I am using scottoiler now with DIY dual lubricator tip on the the sprocket like what Hydher is doing.

I'm using scottoiler from motor world.$15/500ml.

I'm using the $4/L 4t from lab. I wonder how 70w to 90w or 2t oil works. Anyway, sprocket mount has no fling on the rims and chains are extremely lubricated.

 

The oil flow is so restricted that ive been having problems diy pouring oil in. Maybe ill do a reservoir or a Y joint

[heysugar]

Hi tony chan! Thanks for your detailed step by step guide, but where can I get the valve switch, the transparent tubing and the orange sealant? Will normal silicone sealant works? I've been looking for the items above for quite a awhile

[heysugar]

Now the chain oiler can be YOURs for only 3 easy payments of $9.99!!! If you act now, you will receive a FREE bottle of lubricant.. ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!!! Yes!! Order yours TODAY!!!

Simple solution to my problem (:

Soon to tidy things up (:

 

Anyway, 2t is thicker than 10w40.

As to whether its "thick enough" well. Stay tuned (:

[lauhs8]

the valve for the fish tank one will leak after a while...

and normal fish tank tubing will soften after awhile coming in contact with your lube...

my leaked after 2 weeks...

i try to find the shop name and post here for the valve...

 

Had been using DIY oiler for a yr ++. My valve all come from fish shop. Avg 4-5 mth change once.

[Hydher]

Those who doesnt want to buy sealants and reservoirs, you can use singer oil bottle(those non refillable ones of which the top cant be unscrewed.) However, you can do a suction top up if you know what i mean.

 

An aquarium tube can be used to squeeze into the narrow feeder.

 

Those who has problem with aquarium tubes, can get those harder ones at clementi block 328.

even sells those extremely hard premium ones in black and transparent.

[heysugar]

Did my oiler from the steps given by tony chan, edited some part of it

 

Using normal plastic bottle and 2 metal valve switch from fish shop, tubes too, everything is working fine just that there are minor spill to my rims..

 

Will keep track of the leaking from the tubes connecting to the valve switch
