Anyone able to post pics of their Loobman fitted?

[Wonko The Sane]

Just received my Loobman in the post and read the instructions,

They're clear but as diagrams aren't quite as clear as a photo - If anyone has a loobman fitted to their bike would they mind posting a photo of how things fit together near the sprocket?

Thanks

I had a loob man, it was shit and just threw oil all over the place. Sell it and by a scot oiller IMO.

I can show you a picture of mine in my Box of Discarded Experiments if you like.

Never got it delivering properly.

The supplied bendy wire is supposed stick out the end of the tube a few mm, and be just in contact with the sprocket.
The problem is I suspect the flex in sprocket and cush drive moves it enough that a lot of drops go astray even if you keep pushing it back against it.
I found at best it only sort of did one side, you really would be better to just do it manually with proper chain lube spray.

Oh, I binned the twin head early doors, it was way too fiddly to get everything lined up.

I had a bit more luck with just shoving a length of cable tie up the hose (ouch) and getting it to slop on to one side of the sprocket, but it was forever needing adjusting and in the end I reckoned it was less hassle to lube manually.

Keep the pipe running down hill along it's length down the swing arm, the bendy wire is purely to hold the double ended jobby, which I stood on and broke, or the pipe in a position where is is close to the rear sprocket. It's not to touch the sprocket or have oil in it

Then insert a length do cable tie in the pipe to form the 'dispensing' tip.

You need the cable tie to run just short Of the bottoms of the sprockets teeth so it doesn't touch he gaps. The diagram shows it at 9 o'clock but mine is more 7 or 8. Mine dispenses fine and a couple of pushes of the button before I set off to work keeps the chain lightly oiled.

It does drip a small amount of oil on the floor, nothing major though and certainly nothing to cause a pile up!

I think they are worth the 20 quid, saves having to buy those spray cans which do dribble all over the place, my back wheel has actually stayed cleaner since have the loobman on!

I had one of these fitted on my first bike (XJ600S, the old Diversion!) I had a bit of trouble getting it to deliver the right amount of oil, usually ended up with lots spattered over the swingarm etc., still it kept the rust at bay! I would say that the company were very helpful to me and when the bottle split after a year's use, they sent me a replacement out free of charge. Eventually though the dispenser thing fell apart and I gave up.

My next bike (Sprint ST955i) came with a Scottoiler fitted, which was infinitely better IMHO.
