SportsBikeShop, have just price matched the Scottoiler e-system.

I have no vested interest in this other than it was me who requested the price match.

Thought it may be of interest to some on here:

It doesn't even control flow rate for you, it simply displays a load of crap and then lets you change the flow rate. What a waste of money.

Was only offering it up for those interested...

I do 30K pa and have, for the past 5 years, had a shaft drive bike, so haven't had to worry about chains.

I was looking for a a solution which would minimise chain maintenance.

I agree waste of time if you're a summer 2K rider.

Each to their own.

I thought it was display-only from that advert, but apparently not. Doesn't seem too ridiculous then, although I'd bin the naff screen off fairly quickly once set up.

If you do a lot of miles and are short of time for maintenance then that makes sense.

Best one out there as far as I can see is the Tutoro one, I have one on my bench awaiting fitting.

Can't be arsed with all the blurb sorry, does the e-system negate the need for the vacuum pipe?

This was the problem I had with the Scottoiler, concerns of warranty issues associated with splicing the t-piece. If it negated that I'd be more inclined, but that data addition looks a bit pointless to me as well.

That said even discounted this thing is £200, and a DID chain and sprockets on my bike is £90 and even with poor maintenance would still last a year or two. What a good time to fit a chain and sprocket? About 30-40 minutes?

Appreciate you were posting for the benefit of others, but probably not for me either.

Yes, no need for the vacuum hookup on the e system.

That I think is the reason to get one then, it could save a potential warranty claim issue on a new bike later on.
