Reverb finally took a crap

[shrpshtr325]

so what was actually wrong with it that it wasnt functioning?

The line looked like it was kinked just before the post. My guess is that over time it just crept deeper into the frame, which explains why it was so stuck, and being that I ride a small frame the cable got jammed up. Once I finally got the post out I gave it a quick bleed and pumped the air pressure back up and it was all good. It's not the smoothest...surely could use a full service...but it's working fine. The fluid that came out was straight black lol.

reverb talk....
posting for a friend. He bought used reverb and seller said it was all working order. My friend received it and it probably sat for one year.

When he went to install it it was stuck in the down position. He bought a bleed it and did it and it fixed that issue. And it's never held is height. It will sag quite a bit even with proper air pressure. Advice is appreciated. Thank you!

After two reverbs that developed squish, I’m out of the reverb game entirely. Fool me twice and so forth. Ordered a PNW, will see how that treats me. Was looking at bike yolk, but the pnw was half the price.

Get a refund and buy my used and working Reverb.

 

[Soundguy]

Yeah, mine has the sag as well. I raised it up in the seat post to compensate but it is really annoying. I never did a full service/rebuild and it is three years old tho...

 

[JimN]

Get a refund and buy my used once and working Reverb.

FTFY.

He thought it was a proper deal sweetener.
