Just fitted my Reverb Stealth. Bleed it as per instructions and it's stuck at full height....
Any thoughts? Seat clamp is not too tight. I did lose some fluid when the hose was off.

Only use one syringe, pull the piston out. It will create a vacuum sucking out all the air in the line.

Slogo, which end are you using? Post or remote?
Thinking about it, if there's air in the post, surely inverting the post for the first couple of cycles would help?

Yeah I've seen that video. I think I may do the same and remove it from the frame and bleed it. I went for the easy way of installing it by removing the hose from the post end instead of using the connector barb thing to guide it through. Off to the garage once more!

I removed the hose from the lever and and used the bard device but still had the problem. I think it took 4 bleeds in total and it was sorted.
