Nemo Chain Oiler from BestRest Products

- The Nemo 2 Chain Oiler is an on-board, on-demand chain lubing system. You control when to lube the chain. Twist the Nemo reservoir 1/4 turn and you'll get 3 minutes of lube going directly onto the rollers and links. You can mount the reservoir anywhere on the bike (handlebar, frame, etc), but in this video we put it down near the engine so we could reach as we rode. (For safety reasons use care when leaning over to operate the Nemo, or come to a stop before using.)

Durability of chain is directly related to lubrication, as is sprocket life. Without any lube a chain will wear out fairly quickly. Lubrication will easily double (perhaps triple) chain life. Worn chains stretch and cause sprocket teeth to develop a peculiar hook on each tooth. I don't have lab tests that compare chain life for lubed VS non-lubed chains, but 50+ years of riding has given me enough examples. Lube the chain! An on-board oiling system like Nemo makes this an easy process.
You can have the oil feed tube rub against the sprocket if you want. The way we recommend puts the oil on the rollers themselves. if the tube touches the chain that's ok. it will wear down quickly so it barely touches the chain. that seems to give the best coverage.
terrific solution, looks like a great product. Perfect timing as I was shopping for an oiler. Thanks David
Austin - People evaluate a product based on a number of factors: ease of use, ease of installation, appearance, price, etc. For YOU the Nemo may not be what you think will work.. Since you've never used one you might not be fully informed.
@5:44 that’s not how it’s refilled. You take the cap off, while the reservoir is bottomed out, then fill while rotating the reservoir up.
Why would you do it that way, seems unnecessarily complicated.
@@ohshitnotanotherknob I didn’t design it. Either way, its the proper way. You’ll suck air back into the system if done the way shown. Then you’ll need to bleed it again. Quicker to do it properly.
Hey great video personally so so glad by chain drive is over
Excellent video my friend, I like this, looks like it would be a great product to have especially on long trips. Thanks again for sharing and have a blessed week.
Nicely done Dave!
I've been asked about cheaper Chinese knockoff chain oilers that look exactly like the Nemo. Here's what one customer wrote about those Chinese products: "I have a Cobbra oiler on one bike. Decided to get a Chinese knock off for another bike from Amazon for 30 bucks but it leaked immediately and completely. Ordered another Cobbra from you again. Comparing the 2 was shocking. Your product came fast and is now installed waiting for my next ride on Thursday down to Death Valley.
bullshit the cobbra is also made in china , they only putt a other name on it
@@rob-od1vm you're dead wrong. I call bullshit on your bullshit. It's made in Slovenia. By international regulations and treaties every product that gets exported must be marked by country of manufacture. The Nemo is marked "made in Slovenia".
He probably didn't insert the feed tube all the way into the nipple (improperly seated tube will leak), or he didn't tighten the nipple on the bottom of the tank (screwing down the body would force oil past the nipple threads), or he did not notice the missing o-ring under the cap (loss of vacuum in the tank causes the oil to keep flowing out). These are the only things that could have caused this otherwise simple mechanical oiler design to leak. I know the Chinese one even gives you a spare nipple and o-ring.
nice solution, are there any results about durability with your device and without?
i use a Scottoiler oil only drips out as im going along. suppose at end of day so long as you oil the chain thats important
Watch for a 2nd installation video - posting later today. That video will show installation on a BMW G650GS.
Thank you very much for the video. Do you still use the Nemo? How many miles is your chain lasting while using the Nemo oiling system?
Yes I'm still using it. I have about 10K on the bike since installation. Same chain and sprockets, they look good.
Thanks!
Won't the end hose that is touching the chain just wear away ? Would it be better to deliver oil to the sprocket as I'd be too concerned the chain would 'eat' the chain lube hose ?
Being next to the engine would residual heat from the engine warm up the oil and make it less viscous and prone to seepage ?
80W90 gear oil works very well when warm. It actually lubricates better warm than cold.
Is there any reason you couldn't terminate the tube at the primary end? Seems like it would a cleaner install that way.
The chain makes a tighter turn at the primary sprocket, than the rear sprocket. I reckon that would cause more oil to be spun off.
@@HidalgoRides I guess it would depend upon which side off the sprocket you put the tube on. But yeah I see your point
What happens when you back up your bike? With the tube down in between the rollers would that not bend the tube the wrong way?
KfrillAlekmar typically the tube isn't in full contact with the chain, but if it is, the tube bends back. It's flexible so it pops back into place when you roll forward.
What keeps the oil from just flowing out the tube all the time?
There's a valve on the bottom of the reservoir. When you turn the reservoir it applies pressure and opens the valve. Oil passes the valve and goes down the oil line. Once the pressure in the reservoir drops, the valve closes and oil stops flowing.
@@bestrestproducts648 can you replace the valve? mine leaks all the time.
@@willjudice9560 there is no "valve" at the bottom of the reservoir, instead it's a straight hole leading to the oil tube.
.
If your Nemo is leaking oil then there's 2 possible causes:
.
1). improper filling technique. At the final fill-up of the reservoir, make sure the oil level is almost flowing over the upper o-ring. Only then should you screw down the cap. As you screw the cap hold the reservoir so it doesn't spin as you tighten the cap. If you don't fill to the top of the o-ring, you create a pressurized bubble of air when you screw down the cap. That pressure will cause oil leakage.
.
2). the oil hose going into the bottom of the reservoir is kinked or angled, If the hose doesn't go straight in then air can enter and you'll lose oil. Check the hose at the bottom of the reservoir to confirm it's properly seated. If not, push up on the red ring to release the hose (reservoir must be empty or you'll spill all the oil inside). Then clip off a short piece of hose and re-insert into the red fitting.
Where I can purchase it ??

Thank U sir
Three years later, how did it do? Are you still using it?
Yes I'm still using it and it works perfectly
@@bestrestproducts648 Excellent, thank you, I'm buying one.
@@bestrestproducts648 I just installed one on my Himalayan.
i got the chinese clone at 1/4 the price exactly the same unit. your installation with the tube in the chain is troubling
Great! Chinese is, as Chinese does, you get what you pay for. It might be entirely possible the the Chinese have stolen the Nemo design, reverse-engineered, and are now producing them. That's gotta make you feel good.
As for the installation, it's worked perfectly for a couple years now, both on my own bike, and on friend's bikes.
at 27$ i feel i got value for money for exactly the same product under different logo., don't know though how the people that paid over 100$ feel now. Anyhow good review i'm glad it worked for you in that place. I preffered the sprocket for installation
@@st3rg that's great. Everybody likes to save a few bucks. Report back in a couple years and tell me how that Chinese knock-off is working for you...
@@bestrestproducts648 I wish Amazon US had the Nemo2. I didn't realize the GIDIBI was the Chinese clone, until after I ordered. Then I found your site after doing some other research. The Nemo2 is on the Amazon UK site. Is there something you can get Amazon to do about this?
@@jamesd8216 while we are the US dealer for Nemo, we intentionally limit the brands we sell on Amazon to those we manufacture ourselves. For us it doesn't make sense have an Amazon listing for someone else's brand.
Poor end solution imo.
