100mm and 125mm drops.
using code SAVE15
Actually £130 with SAVE15
Looks like a Pre-Christmas Reverb price-war is starting between the big online retailers.

Can i apply a £10 voucher to that too ?
New, improved model due at the start of the year.
Bummer... can't add a £10 i have here too.
Still wondering about dropper posts...
I've never felt the need to drop mine EVER yet...
I've never felt the need to drop mine EVER yet...
then you probably dont need one
Indeed mate, even in the Alps, just move off the back of seat, it was fine. On the spearfish at trailcentre, didn't feel the need... but maybe i'm missing something....
I know it's going slightly off topic kinda lol. But i'm torn between fitting a dropper for that benefit, or a carbon seatpost for the weight loss (just bought carbon bars.)
druidh any details on the new one?
New one has 25mm more drop..... and that's it
I've never felt the need to drop mine EVER yet..
Nobody "needs" to drop there post - but I bet you would be tons faster on techy steep stuff if you did.
Mind you - I dont think I would survive big drop offs with the saddle up. So maybe we do sometimes "need" to drop it

It's an interesting question... but there's not many occasions i do 'techy' stuff.
Damn you STW and your PSAs! 👿
Happy with my GD turbo but I would like to be able to not just have it either up or down.
happy christmas to me, happy christmas to me...
big thanks OP & mr 'SAVE15'
Oh FFS, I've just been paid and got a bonus. If theres any money left after christmas and theres still stock I "might" treat myself.......
When you get one you'll find you use it loads. Sections of trail like Afan's skyline descent, has lots of up / along bits in it where you want to pedal with saddle at the right height, then some techy bits like the rock steps where you really don't want your saddle at full height and in the way. I find I use it a lot.
And if you are worried about weight - buy 2 posts and swap between them depending on the riding you are doing. That's what I did for my anthem.
Trail centre = reverb, race = ibeam
on the lever front, when it says left or right, is the button above or below the bars?
Looking to mount one on the left under the bars.
Couldn't resist buying one whilst cheap in the size I need for a new bike I might be getting....if I sell the current one (anyone want an el guapo? Check my ads...).... oops.
Well figure I can return for a refund unused if I end up not needing a 31.6.
Any reason why you wouldn't buy this?
Also how do you know what length you need?
Just don't tell anyone who is selling one in the classified section.
damn it. 300g heavier than my Hope post though. Hmm.

What size did you get for your Anthem?

Bargaintastic!! anybody want a KS i7 with green remote kit, comes with free shim to fit 30.9, not that I'll need it now!!!!
Skiprat- you want the right hand lever if you intend to run it underneath on the left.
Remember your extra 3% off at Quidco as well....
buy 2. use SAVE40
Wonder why it says "seatpost and remote only"?
no bleed kit
I guess they are OEM and no bleed kit or any other spares/extras you would get with the boxed one.
Ah ok, cheers for that.
Bleed kits are £15 from Ebay (Epic Bleed Solutions). Thats a Reverb and 2 boxes of Gu Gels for me for £163 using Quidco and the Save 40 code. Awesome. This one will go on the Fritzz, and the KS950 off that will go on the classifieds on here.
In case anyone is in doubt, the Reverbs are bloody great IMHO - i already have one on my Fuel Ex and thinks its fantastic.
Any reason why you wouldn't buy this?
because i've heard of a few cases where crc-bought reverbs get refused warranty because they're oem and crc don't give a hoot.
whats the drop on ks950 smogmonster?

I had an OEM reverb I bought from Rose bikes. SRAM UK just replaced it under warranty. All I needed was my receipt.
Rob Jackson, its 5" drop IIRC..it might be an i900 though, i cant remember off the top of my head. Remote lever model.
Ordered, nice one.
You need to apply the £10 voucher first. I just paid £89.99 for mine after applying two £20 vouchers, then the SAVE15 code.
doesn't work for the £10 vouchers mate.. tried it both ways round.

I'd be interested in that, depending on what you want for it.
If you want to get shut of it, drop me an email.

if it's 30.9 and the dropzone model I'm interested 😀
where do you get the £10 vouchers from?
FWIW my £20 jobs were birthday presents delivered by bemused relatives, not offer codes

When you buy stuff
Size? seatpost is 30.9, I got one of the first reverbs when they came out I think they are only a 4" drop for the mark 1. Anyways that is plenty for me.
Think I paid something silly like £250 for mine a couple of years ago 🙁
Now if only they came in 27.2....
Its a 31.6 im afraid. If you look in my previous posts under Cube Fritzz for sale (Im going to keep it now!)you can see pics of it. Superb nick.
Enter code UVF1690 for free dropper post, delivered in a Spar bag.
Thanks for that I've ordered a 420mm long with 100mm drop as I ride a large Anthem X4, I think my original connect post is 400mm so it should be ok.
Dave
Cheers Leku - mines ordered 😀
Mine ordered too. Credit card has taken a few hits this week...

Reverbs from CRC, Merlin and Wiggle ?
And on-one?
Reverbs from CRC, Merlin and Wiggle ?
CRC - 420mm, LH remote that will go under the RH side.
The only one I want is the sold out one 🙁
Oh well, that didn't last long, snooze you lose!
I'm quite glad actually, nearly got carried away in the excitment, but £130 for a half kilo seatpost does seem stupid with hindsight.
Really tempted with this as I have been dropper post curious for a while.
Stupid question time, can you run this below max height? I need it about 10mm shorter ideally due to not being able to drop the post far enough into the frame. I know that means I won't get the max drop but can you set it to stop 10mm short?
Thanks in advance.
lucky for me they don't make a 400mm post with 125mm drop...nearly bought one!
thank god for riding small bikes
The only one I want is the sold out one
Yeah, I wanted the 420 RH remote, to go on LH side. There one minute, gone the next. Could prob have gotten away with the 380 with the remote I wanted, but decided to play it safe with the longer one. I'm right handed, so will probably work out better with it under the RH side of the bars anyway.
Another stupid question - Where is the 420 or 355 measured from? Is it the bit that fits into the frame then add the 100 or 125 drop?
Tia

Will 380mm and 420mm not do?
Dammit! Shouldn't really... but... dammit!

It's the total length of the post. Measure how much of your current seatpost is out the frame and use that to determine which size you need. It'll depend on the minimum insertion you need.
Why is the 31.6 and 410mm post still £209 and everything else reduced?

They do a 410mm with 125drop, what are you on about?
I know that means I won't get the max drop but can you set it to stop 10mm short?
No but you might find +10mm is good for pedaling uphills, I run my reverb quite a bit higher than I ever did the solid post.
The save15 code has just been noticed 🙂 - now expired 🙁
Excuse my ignorance but what does MMX mean?
Ta.
Noticed the code seemed to disappear when the Jan sale email came out, and most of that stuff is random tat theyve had on sale for ages.
Got one of the last cheap Merlin ones, was surprised to see it was aftermarket with bleed kit etc, works out same price as the crc once you buy the extras.
Gonna be quite a few under Xmas trees this year!
It relates to the clamp. You *can* use it to have a single clamp for your Avid post 2011 brakes, Sram shifters and Reverb.
IF you don't have these you can just use it as a normal clamp, removing the bits you don't need.
Cheers rickon. I was not aware of that.
I'm quite glad actually, nearly got carried away in the excitment, but £130 for a half kilo seatpost does seem stupid with hindsight.
You sound like you're trying to convince yourself. 🙂
mine's in the post already 😀
I am getting CRC vouchers for birthday/xmas bet there won't be any left by xmas 🙁
Annoys me that the CRC discount vouchers don't work any more, despite being advertised as working til Dec 24th! I feel a stern email coming on...
Anyway... Still ordered at £144.99 cos was too good a deal to miss out, even if I couldn't save another £15. Bought via quidco though, so will save another 3% off when its been processed.
Think i am too late. wanted 125 drop on 30.9 but says they are discontinued.
Any other places selling them this cheap??
Got my 31.6 and its dispatched already 😀

So excuse the dumb question if i order a 420 long post with 100mm drop, can I assume the length of the 30.9 post tube is 320mm, hoping I haven't ordered one that's too long.

I think you'd subtract the height off the collar too. Also, if your current post has more than 100mm exposed now, then you won't inset it fully anyway.
I'm tempted too. I cant see any issue with sizing though? Do issues arise re frame design? I ride a hard tail with a 410mm post that's shows a fair bit. So I assume that if I buy a 420mm reverb that it works the same. I have it where my static pin is now but with the benefit of a drop?
I went the other way and bought a 180Gr carbon seatpost instead 🙂

I think the 125mm post is 190mm from the seat clamp to the rails, so the 100mm is probably 165mm.
