Chain guard

I am currently battling with my scottoiler feed tube position and delivery rate. I was getting oil on my rims then it was being eased onto the tyre. Before I had my scotty, I had same problem of oil flying onto rims but I just stopped caring about it. It can be cleaned off anytime. I am sure it does no long term damage.

Amen to that :-* :-* :-* :-*

I have a scotoiler and it works well for me :)

I used to have all sorts of prob's with the silkolene range including their Titainium chain wax (and that was white :o )

One shaftie and one fitted with scottoiler, get the flow rate right and only the chain gets lubed

I recently used a can of Wurth dry lube - sure it doesn't fling off, largely because there's nothing there! Apply after a ride, park the bike overnight, ride thirty miles the next day and the chain is bone dry - I know it says it's dry lube, but there's nothing left on it! The chain rollers are dry, shiny and clean, because there is no lubricant left on them - try scratching a roller with your nail - nada!
It's nice that there's very little to clean off the rear wheel, but I'd rather do that than have nothing on the chain to lubricate it, cleaning is cheaper than a new chain and sprockets. The best lube I've ever used is PJ1 in the blue and yellow can, must hunt some more down....

SF - look at a C90 or an original CG125 if you're thinking about chain enclosure - sexy! ;)

Or a MZ.... communisms finest!!!

Ah yes, a C90. Hmmm, might chop the ninja in for one of those! ;D

Was hoping there might be a nice alloy one on the market that doesn't look too naff, but I'm guessing not. Will stock up on the white spirit then for cleaning the wheels every time it's lubed...

Scotty... maybe you are not applying enough? :)

Here you go:

Cut and trimmed the last bit off a '53 plate GS500 chainguard, one drilled hole & bolt later and no more oil over my back tyre... had turned the oiler down as far as I dare - I think the main problem being Scottoil can deal with commuting speeds but not "brisk" commuting speeds & it had flicked all over the side & tread of my tyre??!

Have now removed & sold said oiler, am now using the oiler topup bottle to drizzle a little oil onto the chain when I get home after a ride (the chain, links & rings will still be hot & the oil will find it MUCH easier to penetrate the above than it will a cold chain. ;)
