Just bought a Rockshox Reverb..... And will be taking it out for it's first outing in wet and muddy North Wales tomorrow... ๐Ÿ˜€

Was just after some advise from other Reverb owners... How many of you have covered the post with inner tube or lizard skin or shall I MTFU and just leave it... Such a shame to cover up a thing of beauty with some old inner tube.

(Oh one more stupid question ๐Ÿ™„ ) Are there any issues with the post when putting the bike upside down to put the wheels back on after a journey in the boot of the car....

Just come back from a very wet lakes ride, and it works fine.

Has been on for about 1/2 dozen ride so far and all is well.

No cover, just a clean and lube with forkjuice after each ride.

Righto....

If you have bought a right-hand mount, then mount it on the left side of the bars (underneath them). Will protect the remote in a crash, and turning the bike upsidedown will be fine.
Other way around for left-hand mount.

I just give mine a quick wipe after each ride, drip a bit of fork oil around the seal, cycle it a couple of times and wipe away the excess/muck.

Seems ok so far

It'll come back proper awesome.
