Just a quickie about a month ago my reverb wouldn't fully return, so I upped the pressure as it had dropped to about 90 psi, I put in 250 psi and it worked better than ever.....however one month on and I noticed the button was really squishy and took a while to return out again after pressing...I left it and yesterday whilst out I noticed when sat on it it moved down about 3-5 mm without touching a thing...so took it out of frame and checked pressure and it was down to 60psi!
I then put it back upto 250 psi again and it's working perfectly again for remainder of ride, surely it's not normal to have to keep topping up right?
What's happened know it obviously ain't right and it's losing pressure slowly but does it just need a simple bleed or something more to it?
It works absolutely fine, though obviously as this slow pressure release happens the post gets slower to return over time, but it's not broke in any other way, hoping someone else has had the same and a bleed cured it?
Mine is suffering the same problem. Not had much time to investigate the issue but I think it'll be more of a sealing issue so bleeding won't solve it.
Sounds like air escaping so I can't see how a bleed would fix it.
Warranty it or service it i reckon.

Thought as much! Bawls! Just in time for the weather to pick up 🙁
Same annoying problem with mine when it was a week old.
Turned out it was dodgy air valve.(which I didn't check)
Whole thing replaced under warranty, 9mths later and still works great ...just gotta remember to push the button before hitting those steep downhills!
Had the same problem with mine, returned it to sraam and they repaired it under warranty - been ok since.
Cool have emailed loco whom I got it off....typically my mate had one off loco too and had it a good year plus doesn't maintain his bike in the slightest and has had zero problems with it at all! I've looked after mine from day one and its only 3 months old always clean it etc and mines has failed, i guess it must have been like this from new though pressure had dropped to 90psi after the first month from new
Looks like I'll have to buy a cheapo replacement for the time being, how are fishers with warranty returns? How long will it take etc?
Do people expect these things to hold pressure forever? I've got a reverb on my brand new bike I picked up yesterday and it sticks about quarter of of an inch from the top. I'll put some air in to see if that sorts it, but I check my suspension air pressure frequently and though it rarely needs topping up, it does occasionally, so I wouldn't expect my reverb to hold pressure indefinitely, especially at 200+ psi.
Try loosening the seat clamp slightly. If that doesn't work then it needs a bleed.wobbliscott

Forks do.
Mine took 8 days from posting to return, I think Fishers had it about 4/5 days. Same problem as yours, not had any issues since.
If one isn't returning at all, is it likely to be air pressure? Is it a normal shock pump job from the bottom?
