    Took the wife’s reverb apart for a clean. Just wondering if people just grease, or a heavy oil (like float fluid) when doing this.

    quick squirt of Fork Juice and a wipe down seems to be good

    I meant inside. After each ride it gets a wipe down and a little stanchion lube.

    What I’ve done is taken it apart as if you were doing a lowers service on a fork. Not bothered going into the damper.

    Anyway, if anyone is interested, it’s grease, not oil. The reason being that there are three fine breather holes covered with a felt washer. Use oil in it and it will just dribble/squirt out in use.

    I’m tempted to strip mine down it seems to loose air over time. Any guides online?

    If it’s losing air, I’d be tempted to try a new schrader valve. The air chamber isn’t exposed by a simple strip down.

    Was there a guide you used when doing it? Never done mine.

    sram do their own videos but it’s not tricky if you’ve got a strap wrench or a set of soft jaws for a vice.
