I haven't ridden my hardtail since the Christmas Break (the gravel bike has been getting all the action). It was stored vertically, hanging from the front wheel.
Now the dropper (Bikeyoke Revive) is solidly stuck in the fully extended position. I've topped up air pressure to no avail. I've also tried the magic bleed valve.
Anyone experienced similar and found a solution?
Email sacki. He’s very helpful.
Has the cable disconnected? Drop the seay post by 10mm in the frame, that sometimes releases it for me. Otherwise it might just need reconnecting.
Pretty easy to sort, so if not that it's a new one on me.
Ah, sorry forgot to mention that. Cable barrel end was snugly in its cradle/trigger.

Is that service@bikeyoke.com?
So, even with the revive valve turned fully open, you can't depress it even sat on it?
Could be one for Sacki to answer, but there are some videos on bikeyoke youtube channel, might be worth giving it a quick lowers service.
Thanks
Try sacki@bikeyoke.com
Hes been very helpfull to me in the past.
Even rang me a few day later to check that the problem was sorted.
Will do thanks for the email address. Sounds like a top chap!
I'll just add an update here in case it helps others in the future.
A wonderfully helpful Bikeyoke gave me some advice.
It was a simple case of stanchion stuck through corrosion/non use. I ordered the recommended Ballistol* (I'm sure GT85 would have done the same thing but wanted to be safe), applied liberally inside and out, then carefully 'freed' with a mallet.
Did a lower service and all is good again.
