Wont move more than 1 inche, I have just opened it out of the box, does it need bleeding?

Is this normal. I dont want to start bleeding it, if its a fault and I have to send it back.

Cheers

Seems to be common for the reverb to need bled, even when just out of the box. Search on pinkbikes tech Tuesday videos for a good video guide on bleeding it.

Yep, mine was like that when I bought it. Did a search on google and found it is common on the reverbs. I needed to shorten the hose anyway so I gave it a bleed and it worked perfect after that. Its very easy to bleed, everything is in the box.

I must have one of the very few that worked well out of the box.

The absolute bonus of the remote post is that you can put it down for getting on and off. Am I lazy? lol

Mine was fine out of box for a week, bled it then it packed up completely, now on second one and it feels equally as flimsy...
