Hi All

my Rockshock Reverb dropper is dropping an inch or so when I apply even the slightest pressure to it. What would be causing this and can any recommend somewhere to get it serviced in the Manchester area?

Is it inflated to 250psi ?

If the answer to the above is yes, then you have air in the hydraulic chamber and the post needs servicing.

I can't find any info on how to check the air pressure of a reverb...

Found the manual online... I'll give that a go later.

You can take out the top poppet and top the oil there without having to dismantle the whole post. I did it on my 2012 A1 model and it worked a treat.

Let the air out the post.
Remove the saddle
Remove the top circlip
Remove the washer, the poppet holder and the poppet (this might fly out if there is air in the oil like mine did, be careful)
Top up the oil upto the level where the hole widens
Put everything back in
Pump back up and bleed the lever

Repeat if it still sags a bit.
