So you guys recon its the scottoiler than means for less adjustment?
I guess that means you guys saw no faults with the way i check my chain?

I have had the scottoiler on for the past 1000 and a bit miles as i got fed up of lubing it all the time, plus all the crap from the road gets stuck to lube!

My riding has primarily been road use... no dune busting yet and i havent reallly been exerting or ragging her so yeah your probably right in riding style having something to do with it!
