Snottoiler?

Other than the world renowned Snottoiler, can anybody else recommend a
system that does the same job of slinging copious quantities of oil over the
back wheel?
I seem to remember that there is an electronic thingy of similar ilk, but
can't find it about.
TIA.

That's the rascal.
Thanks, I couldn't think of it's name.
IYHO is it better than a Snottoiler? as I'm looking to put something on my
new Trophy. I've always had the Snotty on before.

I've never owned a snottoiler. AIUI though the oiler can't have the flow
adjusted, whereas with the Lubetronic, you can set the flow according to
the conditions.

Perhaps "ICBW", or even "ISTBC" would have been better. For the

Run a search on the McCoi unit, but there is another commercial unit
which is quite similar in its operation. Neither use 'copious
quantities of oil', they rely upon precise metering so there just the
right amount of lube on the chain under all conditions.
