Hmm. Surely this means you're lubing the outside of the chain then? I
thought the whole point of a Scottoiler was that you aimed the drip at
the inside of the chain on the lower part of the rear sprocket so the
oil is forced into the side plates for lubrication as it goes around the
rear sprocket? Surely if you're lubing the outside of the chain at the
front then it's all just being thrown straight off again, which might
account for the mess inside your front sprocket cover?
