SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always wear safety glasses and nitrile gloves when working with suspension lubricants and fluids.
Place an oil pan under the product during service.
NOTICE
Before beginning service, thoroughly clean the exterior of the product to avoid contamination of internal sealing part surfaces.
When using a crowfoot socket and torque wrench, install the crowfoot socket at 90 degrees to the torque wrench.
Ensure there are no sharp bends in the hydraulic hose. A sharp bend in the hose will prevent fluid from flowing.
⚠ WARNING
Do not allow Reverb hydraulic fluid to come into contact with disc brake levers, calipers, pads, rotors, or braking surfaces. If hydraulic fluid contacts
brake pads, the brake pads must be replaced. Use isopropyl alcohol to remove hydraulic fluid from any brake or braking surface. Failure to remove
hydraulic fluid from brakes and braking surfaces can damage components and reduce brake performance, and may result in serious injury and/or
death to the rider. Remove brake components before performing hose replacement and hydraulic remote bleed procedures.
9Bicycle Preparation
Bicycle Preparation
Secure the bicycle in an upright position.
Reverb™ Stealth: The seatpost will be removed from the
bicycle. Do not clamp the seatpost in a bicycle work stand.
Raise the seatpost to the fully extended position.
Set the speed adjuster to the full slow position.
Rotating the speed adjuster to the slowest setting is critical for a
successful bleed. Failure to do so may result in insucient fluid
volume inside the hydraulic remote system.
Standard Remote: Turn the speed adjuster knob in the opposite
direction of the arrow (counter-clockwise) until it stops.
Reverb 1x Remote: Remove the remote boot and rotate it out of the
way. Turn the speed adjuster bolt (counter-clockwise) until it stops.

10Bicycle Preparation
Record your saddle settings.
Remove the saddle clamps and saddle.
Remove the remote lever assembly from the handlebar.
Reverb™ 1x™ Remote: The 1x remote may be attached to the handlebar
with a discrete clamp. If the 1x remote is attached to MatchMaker™
X and a SRAM® brake lever and clamp (pictured), the 1x remote and
brake lever will both be removed at this time.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Remove each brake lever and brake caliper to
avoid Reverb hydraulic fluid and DOT brake fluid cross contamination.
⚠ WARNING
Do not allow Reverb hydraulic fluid to come into contact with any brake
components. Contaminated brake components can compromise brake
performance, may cause brake failure, and can lead to serious injury
and/or death.
To continue with the remote system bleed procedure, proceed to Remote System Bleed.
Disconnect the hydraulic hose from the frame.
