There\u2019s a ton of new tech coming out from every corner of the world, often similar ideas in various forms, but this one\u2019s a new one to me.<\/p>\n

Scottoiler System<\/h2>\n

\"AutomaticScottoiler Systems have made automatic chain lube systems for motorcycles, now they\u2019ve made one for bicycles. This device clamps to your seat tube and continually lubes your chain as you ride.<\/p>\n

The big benefit? Besides keeping your chain cleaner and lengthening its life, they say there\u2019s a power boost as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr Florida-James found on average a 5% increase in power output when using a Scottoiler automatic lube system\u00a0with cyclists taken previously used bicycles onto a moving treadmill.\u201d
\n– Dr Florida-James, quoted on KickStarter.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This\u00a0video<\/a> explains all (though like me you might need subtitles to follow along)<\/p>\n

What do you think? An increase of 5% in power output is not to be sneezed at. On 300w that would bump you up to 315w.<\/p>\n

Some other things to think about\u2026<\/p>\n

Do you regularly ride long? The 4-5 watt gain is toward the end of longer rides of 3-4 hrs. How much added weight will you be carrying? How much will the refills cost? Do you need another gadget that takes batteries? Will your competitors refill it with Superglue?<\/p>\n

When it hits the market in 2016 it will cost around $150.<\/p>\n
