[Closed] Reverb remote too stiff

Hi all

I've recently rebuilt one of my older bikes for our teenage daughter. The bike was fitted with a reverb dropper (before she crashed it and snapped the remote barb.

Anyhow, before this happened depressing the remote was just too hard for her to push.

She wants a dropper now, would anyone know if there is a way to make the reverb remote easier to depress? Will simply removing some air work? I want to know before I either shell out for a different post or a new barb.

Thanks

The hose hasn’t kinked anywhere has it?

I've got one of these fitted to a Reverb.
Much easier to operate than the Reverb button lever.

Thanks @singlespeedstu - unfortunately the post is non-stealth, although that looks like a great idea.

My Reverb is an external routed type - the original "button" remote was very stiff, now replaced with the lever-type remote. It's still not perfect, the lever has about 50% travel before anything happens! But it's easier to use.

quite an extreme solution but the Magura Vyron is a remote/Ant+ dropper, it is like pressing a TV remote... So should be effortless. Expensive i'll admit.

My sons friend has one of these for the same reason. Seems to work well for him.

1 x remote
