Considering buying a reverb from On one but it doesn't come with a bleed kit.
Do I need one?

Possibly at some point. You should be able to cut length of hose and re-attach remote without needing to bleed so you should be good to go for a while. Im assuming your buying the 2011 as the 2012 comes with a bleed kit.

I got a bleed kit with mine. Haven't used it yet. For what it's worth, it's the same as the Avid brake bleed kits. Some people will say you shouldn't do this because the fluids will mix and cause problems. I have my doubts, and I've cleaned it very thoroughly after bleeding my Juicy brakes.

I presume it 2011.

So you need a specific kit?

You will if you put a saddle bag on, and that causes the cable to snap where it enters the top of the seat post. 😳

Hi mate, i recently got a Reverb from bike-discount.de and it didn't come with a bleed kit so i bought one of the Epic bleed kits off ebay that Messiah mentioned, its spot on with really easy to follow instruction for bleeding it.

Slightly off topic has anyone got a slight seat wobble, my Reverb (2012) seems to have a tiny amount of play where the shaft enters the collar not major but it does cause the seat to rock a few mm's ? I appreciate it cannot be fully rigid as the post would not telescope in but just wondering if I should be worried.
Thanks
Rich

2011 model here and a bit of play on mine, nothing to worry about mate. My old spesh command post had it too, they all seem to have a bit.
