Picked up a reverb from crc for a super bargainacious price, received today and in excitement pressed the remote lever and .... Nothing
Post wouldn't move and neither would remote button.
Now I know I can ping this straight back to crc for exchange, but I'm hoping it's a real simple thing that I can quickly and simply sort and keep hold of my super bargain ( although admittedly its just an expensive fixed seatpost currently)
Post is a 30.9 420mm with 125mm drop, 2012 checked post pressure and it's 200psi
Suggestions?
Bleed is easy!
Well that's where I was headed but typically I bought the post without a bleed kit, so gotta source one of those now. Shouldn't really be required on a brand new out the packet post though, or have others suffered similar?
Did you sit on it ? 😉
Well, yes but here's the interesting bit, the frame it's for hasn't arrived yet so it was 'fitted' to a workshop bike stand and sat on, but it did have my weight on it. ( it is a kestrel bike stand)
Just needs a bleed by the sounds of it mate
Yes mate, I have two reverbs, one for each bike.
The second one I bought worked like a dream straight out of the box, and has hard a hard winters use, and still works like a dream, however !!!!!! The first one I bought was like yours, it was solid straight out of the box (I couldnt move it even 1mm), I bled it and it sorted it out, that one needs bleeding every few weeks to keep it plush.
cool cheers guys, good news bad news really.
Found a bleed kit with the 2.5wt oil for £15 so it's not too bad, fingers crossed it sorts it, have to say i'm a little dissapointed given the cost. Have pinged fishers an enquiry email and hoping they suggest sending it in to them.
Thanks for your help all
I'm on my second. First one, ridden once & moved up & down if you grabbed the seat. Lever no wormy. SRAM repaired it. Came back the same ! Now on warranty replacement & seems ok.
Where did you get the bleed kit at that price?

found a link on someone elses thread whilst searching for info
cheers mate.
just an update, no reply from silverfish so far and it definately isn't a bleeding issue after doing it twice.
Will call silverfish and see what they suggest next week
Call us (Silverfish) if you like - we're always happy to chat, but to be honest you'll be better off calling Fishers as they're the RS distributor not us. 🙂
