Just ordered a reverb, now i feel sick

Ha anybody else get that sick guilty feeling when they order something they dont need but definately want? Maybe its all the choclate egg ive eaten today. 😆

You do need it, you just don’t realise it yet.

where did you get it from Hilton83 ?

I was the same, 220 quid on a seatpost!!!!!!!!!!

I was so sick , I even got one for my second bike 😉

Best mountain bike related Money you will ever spend .

Nope, never get that feeling – it must be Easter related

Buyers remorse – no idea what that feels like!

Another 2 Reverb owner here 😳 Second one is cheaper though as you can get it without the bleed kit 😀

IMO it’s the second best thing to spend money on biking after Jedi training 😀

they are good! but still only a seat post 😆

Yes, though I ‘accidentally’ became the successful bidder on a new frame off ebay the other day. Still feeling a bit sick, and so is my bank manager…

It’s a double whammy when the wife sees the credit card bill !

What an absolutely fantastic group of people on here, i no longer feel sick just excited!

@sonofapitch i bought it from merlin came out at £240, they do have some without the bleed kit for £197 after the discount

As redfordrider said, the official name for it is “Buyer Remorse” and it’s a well known and documented state of mind.

Don’t worry, after a couple of rides you’ll wonder how you got by without it.

You,ll feel more sick when it breaks after 2 rides.

Cheers badgerpoo. 🙂

Best thing I’ve ever bought for my bike, changes the way you ride and is a bargain now i look back. 2 of my mates went straight out and purchased one within 2 weeks and touch wood we’ve all gone 6 months, 3 times a week riding without incident or fault

You wont regret it, well until you want the new crank bros one.
You wouldn’t believe how often you’ll use it, and don’t worry about the wife, we all know they are worth thousands and you had a super duper deal 😉

**** me 250 squids for a seatpost, these guys are laughing all the way to the bank, what you need is the new and improved turbospoke http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Turbospoke-Signs-Eric-Lawrenuk-for-2012.html

Yes you should cry as you could have ordered some GD

Remember, it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission 🙂

you wont regret it, unless you cant afford to pay the credit card bill, then you might. Otherwise, all good, expensive purchase but one you will definitely get the use from

Hey, slightly OT….You still got the SID 29er forks from a couple of weeks ago?

Drop me an email if youre looking to sell still

Awesome bit of kit. 😀

Just picked up a Gravity Dropper on Ebay and took out the new post I had just put into a new build, it had only seen one ride. Had one ride with the Gravity dropper and I’m happy to just add the cost of the normal post to that as I love it so much. Definitely a piece of kit you didn’t realise you NEEDED.

Ha ha – yeah I felt like that when I ordered some new Superstar bars, and they were only £35.

Enjoy your post.

Her: “So you just sold a pair of wheels and bought some hubs?”

Me: “Er, yes.”

Her: “Why?”

Me: “So I can build some wheels.”

Her: “But you just sold some wheels.”

Me: “I needed the money to buy the bits for the new wheels.”

Her: “Why didn’t you just keep your existing wheels and save your money.”

Me: “Ummm…”

Her: “How much were the hubs?”

Me: “What shall we have for dinner?”

I spent at least a year saying they were overpriced until I tried a mates.
I now own one 🙂

Bloody hell Boxfish I’ve had the same convo with my other half so many times they must be related !!

There’s a brief period of remorse between ordering a Reverb online and using it. I too felt guilty about it. But then I rode it and it’s all good, no regrets at all.

£220 on a seatpost? I’d rather learn to ride properly with an ordinary one 😉

Im toying with the idea of a whole new 10 speed drivetrain with chain guide and the combined price in my chainreaction whishlist is makig me feel a wee bit sick too. what to do what to do..

So, get a reverb now or wait for the Kronolog? What is the verdict on those?

Buy a 30.9mm reverb off me 172 used once in classifieds

Why are you getting rid of it?

I had a yeti 575 which i sold to buy a 29er, tried to hang onto it and thought about buying specialised camber 29 cause it would fit, but just preferred trek rumblefish so have bought another reverb for that as its 31.6 mm so selling the 30.9mm one.

@JmieMc – check Rose and other Deutschland shops online and see if they are SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper than CRC
bikecomponents.de SLX 10 groupset 239 euros? XT is 379

Don’t worry, you really, really don’t need one anyway going by that video you posted.

Just about to hit the CRC Button. 🙂 not long till I get the feeling.
She won’t notice…..
