Default Chain Oiler
Let me ask you guys one last question. Have any of you ever had to replace the chain oiler on your bikes? If so where did you buy them from? I have looked all over on multiple sites and I can't find any. Let me know if you guys have any info.

Thanks!

I releaize there is chain lube, but I'm trying to utilize the hardware currently there. I suppose I should re-phrase this. My chain oiler is missing the metering screw. Does anyone know what size screw that is?

A nickel plated chain and a wipe down with WD-40 every now and then is even better.

I agree but the problem was that the metering screw on my chain oiler was missing so it was leaking oil everywhere. I don't necessarily want to use the chain oiler but I need to cut it off so the oil isn't leaking everywhere.

Thanks.
