Chain performance system ?

“offers the biggest potential performance gain to be found anywhere on the bike”

Funny how they don't mention which World Tour Team Technical Director.

^^ or the start of the sentence, which could well be "It's not like it"

yes I have memories of something called the scotoiler or something.

Had the impression that it was only partially successful at best.

I think it dated from well before the days of "marginal gains"/shaving your pubes off etc.

The "actual" price of that thing Drago is of course a whopping £250. I've paid well under that for some nice bikes.[/QUOTE


Had a Scotoiler on my Kawasaki G T 1200cc , Very effective in keeping the chain well lubricated and prolonging the life of the chain . Wouldn’t bother on a bike given the cost of the unit versus the price of chains

Don’t know what the price of m/c chains are now but back in the day the Scotoiler was efficient in prolonging the life of the chain and rear sprocket

Would it be useful when touring?

I like his reading material too (presuming your World Team Technical Director is male).

Does it spew oil onto an empty chainring if you use your front changer?

Indeed, plus I'm wondering what the performance loss of a permanently sticky chain picking up all of the crap off the road is. I'm not really sure that this works better than say, just wiping the chain and relubricating it as needed.

I like how their blurb quotes "world tour team technical director", without providing further information like a name or a complete sentence. Almost like they are lying.

There will be an add on along soon" " ExcessaGON " these super lightweight micro fibre brushes will gently wick away excess oil gaining you another 2.5 watts on even the toughest ride"

And an app which continuously monitors oil consumption and automatically mails you a small small bottle at a member discount price of 100 nicker when your supply is running low.

I hope you patented that before putting it in the public domain.

The professor they quote from Edinburgh Napier University does have a long CV of cycling research.
But it does look nonsensical.

Is he the one that proposed square wheels for resistance training?

That's why all the TdF riders use one.

Presumably the oil it uses is derived from snakes ...

Here’s an independent review suggesting it is rubbish.
If you have a clean chain and dry road conditions the potential gains are almost nil

How many watts per £ mile?

Here's a high-tech alternative.
