Degreased the chain & sprockets then Fitted a Loobman chain oiler after folowing the link left by griff on one of the other threads. Looks like a good design and nice and simple (designed and made by some London couriers) , and if it don't work, it costs next to nothing.

Will post some pictures when I get round to it

Now that's a good idea! Although p/coating may be a better way too go, have got a spare pair of forks to revamp & fit & they will end up black! Well the bottoms will anyway.
