Last time i took my bike out, my Reverb’s lower seals gave up and it threw up in my frame.
I’m weighing up getting it fixed, over just replacing it
Some bullet points to consider.
Its a Mk 1, bought in 2014 i think. Its has the IFP fault the early ones had fixed, but i dont think its ever had new bushes or keys.
Its 125mm long, and i could JUST get a 200mm drop in my frame (assuming a total 30mm stack height) so room for improvement.
Being an early reverb the hose enters the post at the saddle. bit annoyin’
I think a service, by the time ive posted it somewhere reputable is likely to cost 100 quid?
I could buy a brand X one for 140 quid:
150mm, or even 170mm drop, cable enters the post at the collar (i don’t have stealth routing, so no slopping around of cable,
any reasons not to buy the BrandX post?
Any reason to keep a 6 year old reverb (that would work fine with a service, i think)
