I'm assuming that the breather tube setup you've exampled here is alright for riding through fairly deep water-- the breather won't take in the wet?

[Scottoilers]

Hi Jeff, the breather is pointed downwards to prevent water ingress from rain / spray / when washing the bike. If riding the bike through a lot of water I'd recommend lengthening the breather tube using spare delivery tubing, aim to get it into or as near to the airbox for the best ingress protection.

The breather is filtered with foam but if this gets wet it can airlock the system resulting in no oil flow. Furthermore if water ingresses it can emulsify the oil and block the internal filter.

Got it-- thanks!

Also, most spray chain lubes contain up to 6% of "tack additive" to make it sticky and less likely to throw off but as you've probably found, this turns into something resembling black chewing gum which almost impossible to remove from your rear wheel and surrounding areas.

At 0.5%, Scotoil only contains one tenth of this additive which means that it can easily be wiped off any surface.

Hope this helps!

Hi cra83,

a light oil mist around the rear wheel is inevitable whether from a spray chain lube or from a constant loss system like the Scottoiler. This can be minimised by applying the oil to the face of the sprocket, (as we recommend), rather than dripping it onto the chain from mid air.

This way, you will use far less oil and therefore, less will be flung onto the wheel.

i always wondered; how good are the units/lube with regards to preventing oil being flung from the chain onto the rear wheel? I ask because i'm sick of trying to clean chain lube off mine
