Bleeding Reverb

BloggingFit

Experiencing some excessive drop when sitting on my stealth of around 10mm so decided to do a bleed last night to resolve. Did a full system bleed followed by a remote bleed but the problem remains.

Post returns up with good speed so I don't think it's directly a pressure issue plus the plunger is a touch slow on the return which to me fits in more with a hydraulic issue.

I have seen different methods of bleeding and I did remove the post end syringe first followed by the remote while it seems removing remote end first may be the better way followed by a secondary feed using the syringe in the post and the remote plunger.

Anyone have any input on the above?

Other than trying this I think this may be a warranty return.

It may very well be a warranty return but have you checked the pressure? It needs to be pretty much dead on 250psi in the extended position, in my experience.

If it compresses without you pressing the remote, its a warranty issue.

Mine went back and got replaced very quickly.

Quite a common problem apparently. I decided to sell my warranty replacement.

I had this issue, mine was well within warrant period so its off for a repair.

Overall they sound a bit sh1t.

Another bleed and no different so warranty job it shall be. If I get to keep it then I'll run on the hardtail, buy a service pack and look to repair.

They perform well enough, just the drop is a touch annoying on a ride.
