Has anyone had a Reverb from bike-Discount.de recently? Just wanted to check what you actually get. The listing at the €209 price shows a silver collar version and states no bleed kit, but it does say 2012 manufacture which I thought would mean the one with the black collar?
Can anyone who has bought from them clarify what actually arrives?
Cheers
Rio
I ordered one on Monday so will let you know when it turns up.
AFAIK the 2012 model has the choice of a silver or black collar.
2011 = silver collar
2012 = black collar
As I understand it, those 'cheap' ones bike-discount are selling are 2011 posts with 2012 internals.
I don't think it's black and white. I got a replacement Reverb from Fishers that was stamped as a 2012 with a silver collar, but they sent me the wrong one. The next replacement was a black collar one, also 2012.
Cheers for the replies. Variflex, I'll wait for your update 😀
I also ordered one on Monday, I'm expecting a 2012 with silver collar and no bleed kit. I got the email today to say it has been dispatched, no idea when it will arrive though

My 2012 replacement from Fishers (received a couple of weeks ago) also had a silver collar and came with a bleed kit too, so you never know how lucky you may be....
Mine was a 2012 with silver coller and no bleed kit. Received it two weeks ago.
My bro in law has bought one of the 2012's from bike-discount.de a few weeks ago. It arrived pretty quick and as described (silver collar, no bleed kit).
My 2012 MMX Right hand one arrived today - for 209 Euro - it specified a bleed kit included & limiter included, and it was. Black collar too.
Link below is the one I ordered, there are several versions on the site.

got full kit every thing in the proper box, were about 170 when i got one
Interesting.
I have a 30.9 ordered from the german site for one of my bikes and received a 31.9 from merlin today for another bike.
Out of the box, the merlin one needs bleeding (very slow return, only about 70%) but has black collar, no silver clamp as per photo above. It didnt come with a bleed kit, but luckily have one already but need to buy the fluid. The merlin one cost me 188.
Will be interesting what the german version turns up with,
Mine came from Bike De about 4 weeks back.
Advertised as 2012 no bleed kit.
It has a silver collar and the only obvious serial number ends in 11 not 12.
It's bloody brilliant 🙂
@honourablegeorge, that website is completely different from the one I ordered from, looks like i may have messed up as this site definitely has a silver collar and states no bleed kit for the same price of 209€. Gutted

Ah, so it is - are you too late to cancel?
Customer service is generally very good with the german sites, try contacting them if it hasn't shipped yet.
It shipped on Tuesday. Apart from the bleed kit, is there any reason why the black collar could be better? Are we thinking that the silver is a 2011 model?
I'm not going to return it and order the same as honourablegeorge unless it's worth it
On a different note, anyone know how long they take to arrive? Mine was shipped on tuesday and I'm hopeful that I can have it by next Tuesday...
Cheers HG Reverb ordered 😀
For anyone who cares, my post came today so that's 3 days delivery time from Germany
Mine arrived from bike-discount.de today and includes full bleed kit and is in original box. Black version including alloy/silver collar.
Note: Remember to pump up to 250psi with shock pump. My other unit from merlin needed pumping up on delivery. Which it doesnt mention in the manual.
I got a post from CRC today (£193) 🙂 silver collar.
What dose that mean 2012 or ?
I take it Comes under a world wide warranty so can be repaired in the uk if it goes wrong. I ask as I ve just been caught out with an x fusion HiLo bought from Germany. UK distributor refused to repair foc ,so had to send it back to Germany where it has been for the last 6 weeks or so.
Leisure Lakes told me they are not covered and Fishers can tell by the serial number 🙁

Ordered mine 2nd April, got it on the 11th - that's with the two Easter Bank holidays in the middle.
mine has a silver collar its still 2012
Leisure Lakes told me they are not covered and Fishers can tell by the serial number
That's what I'd say if I were leisure lakes. Best ask SRAM.
It's also worth me mentioning, my post from bike.discounts.de is a black collar with bleed kit, and arrived within 72 hours of ordering. Exactly the same as pictured above by HG
Any suggestions on what length of post I should get for a 2010 Trek Fuel EX9? been after one of these for ages.
What's the best version of the reverb to buy, someone mentioned running the hydraulic switch under the handlebars or something?
Any suggestions / info?

Wondering the same, is it best to run the right lever on the left under the bars?
A left wont work on the right because the hose interferes with the brake lever/gears.
A left inverted under the left can be used with the finger on a 1x9,10 set up but that could hinder braking.
I had a play tonight.
hope that helps
