100mm and 125mm drops.

Actually £130 with SAVE15

Looks like a Pre-Christmas Reverb price-war is starting between the big online retailers.

Can i apply a £10 voucher to that too ?

New, improved model due at the start of the year.

Bummer… can’t add a £10 i have here too.

Still wondering about dropper posts…

I’ve never felt the need to drop mine EVER yet…

then you probably dont need one

Indeed mate, even in the Alps, just move off the back of seat, it was fine. On the spearfish at trailcentre, didn’t feel the need… but maybe i’m missing something….

I know it’s going slightly off topic kinda lol. But i’m torn between fitting a dropper for that benefit, or a carbon seatpost for the weight loss (just bought carbon bars.)

druidh any details on the new one?

New one has 25mm more drop….. and that’s it

I’ve never felt the need to drop mine EVER yet..

Nobody “needs” to drop there post – but I bet you would be tons faster on techy steep stuff if you did.

Mind you – I dont think I would survive big drop offs with the saddle up. So maybe we do sometimes “need” to drop it

It’s an interesting question… but there’s not many occasions i do ‘techy’ stuff.

Damn you STW and your PSAs! 👿

Happy with my GD turbo but I would like to be able to not just have it either up or down.

happy christmas to me, happy christmas to me…

big thanks OP & mr ‘SAVE15’

Oh FFS, I’ve just been paid and got a bonus. If theres any money left after christmas and theres still stock I “might” treat myself…….

When you get one you’ll find you use it loads. Sections of trail like Afan’s skyline descent, has lots of up / along bits in it where you want to pedal with saddle at the right height, then some techy bits like the rock steps where you really don’t want your saddle at full height and in the way. I find I use it a lot.

And if you are worried about weight – buy 2 posts and swap between them depending on the riding you are doing. That’s what I did for my anthem.

Trail centre = reverb, race = ibeam

on the lever front, when it says left or right, is the button above or below the bars?

Looking to mount one on the left under the bars.

Couldn’t resist buying one whilst cheap in the size I need for a new bike I might be getting….if I sell the current one (anyone want an el guapo? Check my ads…)…. oops.

Well figure I can return for a refund unused if I end up not needing a 31.6.

Any reason why you wouldn’t buy this?

Also how do you know what length you need?

Just don’t tell anyone who is selling one in the classified section.

damn it. 300g heavier than my Hope post though. Hmm.

What size did you get for your Anthem?

Bargaintastic!! anybody want a KS i7 with green remote kit, comes with free shim to fit 30.9, not that I’ll need it now!!!!

Skiprat- you want the right hand lever if you intend to run it underneath on the left.

Remember your extra 3% off at Quidco as well….

buy 2. use SAVE40

Wonder why it says “seatpost and remote only”?

no bleed kit

I guess they are OEM and no bleed kit or any other spares/extras you would get with the boxed one.

Ah ok, cheers for that.

Bleed kits are £15 from Ebay (Epic Bleed Solutions). Thats a Reverb and 2 boxes of Gu Gels for me for £163 using Quidco and the Save 40 code. Awesome. This one will go on the Fritzz, and the KS950 off that will go on the classifieds on here.

In case anyone is in doubt, the Reverbs are bloody great IMHO – i already have one on my Fuel Ex and thinks its fantastic.

Any reason why you wouldn’t buy this?

because i’ve heard of a few cases where crc-bought reverbs get refused warranty because they’re oem and crc don’t give a hoot.

whats the drop on ks950 smogmonster?

I had an OEM reverb I bought from Rose bikes. SRAM UK just replaced it under warranty. All I needed was my receipt.

Rob Jackson, its 5″ drop IIRC..it might be an i900 though, i cant remember off the top of my head. Remote lever model.

Ordered, nice one.

@weeksy

You need to apply the £10 voucher first. I just paid £89.99 for mine after applying two £20 vouchers, then the SAVE15 code.

doesn’t work for the £10 vouchers mate.. tried it both ways round.

I’d be interested in that, depending on what you want for it.
If you want to get shut of it, drop me an email.
