Scottoiler applicator
It seems to me that all chain oilers both off the shelf and homemade seem to use small tubes to deliver the oil to the rear sprocket. I have been considering making my own device from the system currently on my bailer. It uses brushes to deliver oil to the chain, just seems like a better system as an even spread of oil can be achieved and saves pissing about with little tubes. I guess there is the argument that brushes will wear out due to the speed of the chain, but the ones I have seem pretty hardy and I have loads spare.
On another note, god damn those Scottoilers are expensive! That’s a lot of coin for a plastic pot with a vacuum valve and a length of hose!
Any thoughts on using a brush applicator would be appreciated.
