The recommended interval is 600 to 800km, which has been a good number for me, so far. If they're particularly nasty conditions, keep it on the low end of that, or every 500km.

I have one of these
http://www.scottoiler.com/us/Kits/vS...ypage.tpl.html It takes a bit of time to work out how to set it, but once it's set give it a top up every so often & you're good. It adds a drop (23µl) of lube to the rear sprocket every minute or so. I topped mine up, went home (across england & wales) & then went touring in Ireland & back again (1100 miles in a week) and there was still some left when I got back. |
