Do you have a permanent pillion passenger to do that for you or do you have a member of your household staff to ride alongside very few miles to squirt at you, metaphorically. :lol:

I have a small plastic bottle fastened within reach on the frame, I give it a squeeze and the oil runs down 2 plastic tubes and drops precisely on the "O" rings on the inside of my chain, just in front of the back sprocket. :ugeek: :D

I don't oil mine - run it dry so it doesn't get turned into grinding paste and buy a new chain every year or so.
It never seems to stretch, just able to curve sideways.
