Reverb question

mb london

So, just got the reverb through the post today and looking forward rigging it up at the weekend.

I got it out of the box for a sneaky look and couldnt help have a little got to check the action out, but I could push the post down? The seller told me the thing came per-bled even though it came with a bleed kit, so can only assume its bled and ready to go, but why can't I move it. Will it need the my body weight on top of it before it compresses or have I missed something

It does take quite a bit of pressure - press the handle bar tit and have another go (you did press the tit didn't you?)

Er yes, pressed the actuator and tried to compress the post, but it wasnt going anywhere

It's a seatpost. Of course it's going to need some weight. Press the button, sit on it.

It does take a fair amount of pressure to move the post but also be prepared to do a bleed on the system, they say they all come pre bled but I deffo had to bleed mines as it had a sticky return when new, since then it's been fine.

You can compress it without sitting on it, man up.

It still needs some weight.

Depends how much air is in it.

It's not going to compress itself, is it?
