I had one on my motorbike when I was a dizzy but I can't see the point of one on a pushbike. I am pretty sure that if I needed to lube mid ride, there would be something wrong there. I do carry a little bottle of GreenOil in my saddlebag but haven't needed to use it, on a ride, yet.

An answer to a question no-one was asking. A while ago, I had three motorbikes, and they all had a Scottoiler. Excellent bit of kit and well worth it when you are putting 100+ bhp through a chain costing £100+ for thousands of miles in all weathers, especially if you are doing long trips away from home. But on a bicycle - no. I am surprised to read about the forum tactics (assuming these were orchestrated by the company) as whenever I had to contact them they seemed a down-to-earth bunch of people and very helpful.

First thing I noticed was the rider's muscles!Well ... not quite. An early prototype:
Years ago my friend had an oiler on his Honda CBR 600. Apparently it released oil when acceleration was detected. Never saw one on an MTB.

Perfect for those who use chainsaw oil

All that to carry 30ml of lube? Be easier and cheaper to take the bottle of whichever lube you prefer!

Never had one on my motorbikes and would certainly never put one one a cycle.
When I Oil my chain I am also looking at other thing. For loose fittings or wear on the bike.

There's a CBR600 round here that I regularly see riding an MTB.

When I had a CBR my work colleagues referred to me as the "Cxxx Boy Racer"
