you've not bled it properly. When they break... they stop working.

I would but unfortunately my bike is sitting in a box in a garage in england as I am away on work :(. Bought in April though and apparently the new one came out in america in feb, according to other forums. They also advertised it as a newer version when I ordered it from the states.

Have you checked the air pressure?

I have just received mine back after having the seals replaced. A faulty seal was causing the pressure to drop down to 20psi over a couple of days.

What's the overall verdict on the Reverb then? Know someone who bought a Pure KS and apparently that's poor, heard the Spesh is rubbish, is the Reverb worth the cashola now, or worth waiting another season? CRC has them on special at £199, but they'll be the 1st generation model.

TIA

Check your seat clamp tightness, if they're done up too tight it can impede the progress of these seatposts and make them sluggish. Stick to the manufacturers instructions
