I wouldn't swap my scott oiler for quids. Yeah, in my case there is a slight fling off but way less than before I put it on.
If the chain is getting too much oil, what you see on your wheel rim will be access oil. In other words mightn't be a bad idea to dial it for less drips per period of time.
For me, the scott oiler is the only way to go once you've sorted it out and understand the variables. Like there are 2 types of oil for instance. One for cold whether ie: 0 celcius (32F) to 20c and 20c to 40c. It doesn't really matter which oil though as long as you've adjusted it to the weather conditions.
I will really be able to tell how good it is when I find out how long the chain and sprockets last. I deliberately added the oiler at the same time I replaced the sprockets and chain and at the moment I'm just hitting 20k (12,000 miles) and all's still fine.
I'm actually hoping the scott oiler besides providing all it's other benefits, helps with extending the life of my sprockets and chain.
Even if it's much the same it wouldn't change my mind but "Scott Oiler" do claim it extends the lifespan so we'll see and I'll let you all know when I do.
I mean, lets face it. Oiling the chain all the time is just a pain and that's round town. On a trip, forget it.
