Hi,
Andi told the Pro's, there are also some Contra's :-)) :
- the oil quickly goes of the chain, poluting the environment
(making your bike dirty)
- in an O-ring chain, the "greese" is encapsulated in the inside,
so only the
outside (rust protection) and the sprockets need greese.
- a chain is woren out, if it starts to get longer and
longer...it's because the "inside"
of the chain is woren out (sorry for my english). Because of the
O-Ring,
no greese will ever reach the inside of the chain !!
- last not least: a "wet" chain attracts dirt. That's why some guy
only use dry
chain spray...
For non O-Ring chain's, a scott oiler is perfect, but I wouldn't recommend
it for O-Ring chains.
have a nice slide and greetings from vienna !
Martin
