Overall it is no hassle at all, easy to remember and means the chain does get oiled.

    Maybe less = less dribble ( )
    Like I said in my previous post - i haven't even ridden with this yet. I probably wont need to fit a tap but think it would work to stop dripping if you had some unused oil still in the line. like holding your finger over the top of a straw full of liquid.....

    Why not tell us about your oiler?? Then we would know about another option.
    It's a custom made jobbie that Pixie does. It uses a solenoid valve rather than vacuum and has a steel reservoir that is designed to fit each bike, but otherwise works like a Scott unit. Feedback says that its adjustments are more stable than the Scott. He quotes per job, but the installed price usually works out the same or a bit less than a Scott uninstalled.

    Scottoiler = $239.00
    Loobman = $50.00
    You just need a spring steel paper clip (bulldog clip) to pinch the tubing.
    Or you could buy one of my oilers, but they are as expensive as scottoilers,though they are superior.

    Write up a blurb or two and put up some pictures of it under the product review section.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
