1260 - Scott-oiler E-system

Can't recommend anywhere for best price, but can recommend that you have someone who knows how to fit one and set it up correctly.

 

I've got one but once I find it, its going to a guy off of therevcounter who helped me out awhile back. The thing is neat but if it goes wrong you have a lot of oil on the back wheel.. ..read into that what you will.

Personally the old fashioned method is the safest

 

Have a look at the PD Oiler system - it has an electronic valve much the same as the Scott Oiler, but uses a wick to feed the oil onto the chain rather than a nib. I have one on my M900 and it has never missed a beat.

 

Would I be wrong in thinking a scott oiler puts lube on the rollers as that's where the scott tube always appears to point ? While I'm aware the rollers have contact with a sprocket and thus, a thin film of lube is good, it does not appear to address the issue of lubing between the outer and inner link plates where the O/X rings are located. When using a non fling lube such as Wurth etc, you can direct it at all points (with a piece of cardboard etc behind to stop spraying your tyre) . So having never used a Scott oiler, are they as comprehensive as manually spraying?? Can the lube on a roller make its way through the hole in the link plate to keep the O/X rings moist. Sorry to go off topic, was curious to how good these Scott oilers are ?

 

Normally, the oil delivery nozzle or nozzles - in the case of a twin nozzle set up - are set to direct the oil onto the rear sprocket slightly inboard of the teeth and not in contact with the chain. Centrifugal force flings the oil out onto the chain where it migrates to pretty well every part of the chain in fairly short order. This includes the area between the rollers and the pins which has no o-rings to seal the manufacturer's initial greasing in; unlike the plates where the o-rings live. This video explains this last bit better than I, at around the 5:30 mark.

Once you have the oil delivery rate set correctly, I find a Scott oiler works very well.

 

Thanks, but think I'll just stick with Wurth, looks a lot less messy on your tyre and wheel if those oiler rates are not perfect. Saw one of these once on a bike in France once, and the guy said it works really well, it's a stand alone unit that works off the movement of the bike. Far easier to install and set up I reckon ??

 

I have a Tutoro on a CCM GP 450. Yes, easy to install but I find it hard to get the right flow rate as it is influenced to an extent by how rough the road is. On the whole, I prefer the Scott Oiler.

 

I’ve sent you a pm about one i have for sale.
