    seen many a post on here about this stuff (am I right in thinking @nigelrb swears by it?)

    Where’s the best place to get it? Is it really that good? Any other recommendations?

    Thanks all,

    @mk3golfcab Scottoiler all the way mate! Takes a while to get the drip rate right, but I wouldn't be without one.

    Really? Always heard it’s a pain to keep clean with a Scottoiler, what sort of mileage do you do?

    Get the feed right and it is fine. I've done about 4.5k on mine in the last year and not had a problem.

    The main thing to me is it keeps the rear wheel clean

    Can't beat Wurth dry lube...I've tried the lot...even stuff they say doesn't fling...doeso_O
    Apart from Wurth!
    Yes it's not cheap and you do have to reapply it more often if you're racking the miles up.....and if you're doing winter or a lot of wet weather commuting you'll need a more appropriate lube. But if you're mostly fine weather then this is the lube to get.
    It just doesn't save the wheels getting sh#te up but all the other bits it flings into that you can't get too as easily! Plus with some wheels you've got to be v careful wiping them...my orange repsol paint came off at the slightest sign of a lot of wipes.

    Yep, and I've tried many! I actually purchased on @Lozzy 's recommendation. :)

    Wouldn't have a bar of Scottoiler myself. Just sayin'

    Will get a can and see how it goes. I know from experience white wheels are a PITA to keep clean! Why oh why did I buy another with white wheels!

    Thanks all :)

    @mk3golfcab. Until recently I was commuting around 400 miles per week, year round. Only snow stopped me. If you use their own oil or a very light transmission oil, it drips on the chain & then any excess flicks off along with the dirt/grit. Like I said, it takes a while to perfect this as the viscosity (& therefore flow rate) changes with temperature. I'll post a picture.
