Morning all,

I noticed on Wednesday that my reverb was not working. I managed to drop it 2" by putting abit of pressure on the sit but now it won't go up or down.

I checked the pressure, it was silently down so I added 30psi to make it 250psi but it still doesn't work.

I did noticed when pressing the button abit of water was coming out the bottom around the rubber.

Any ideas ??
Does it need bleeding??

    No not jet washing it, sprayed it with a hose pipe though.

    I guess that's where the water is from.

    Any ideas why It's not working. Only had it 2 months. Probably best to send it back to chain reaction.

    If you haven't bled it then that would be the first thing to do.

    Could be something as simple as an over tightened seat post clamp. Try loosening that off first, it can crush the Reverb outer and restrict it.
    Try loosening that before anything else, takes seconds so has to be worth a try.

    A couple of weeks back discovered this after taking it into my LBS as mine stopped working. Very embarrassing. The look on the guy's face when he just loosened the clamp and 'pop' all working!. Hilarious.
    I am the Orange stereotype and loving it.

    First thing I tried mate. I will have a go at bleeding it later.

    Well I bled the reverb still not working so it's getting packed up and I will send it back to chain reaction.
