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.

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.

With the seatpost fully extended and at the desired ride height in the
frame, route the hose to the handlebar remote location.
Hold the hose and turn the handlebar side to side.
The proper length of the hose should create a gentle bend and allow
the handlebar to turn side to side.
NOTICE
Ensure there are no sharp bends in the hydraulic hose. A sharp bend in
the hose will prevent fluid from flowing.
Ensure there is no tension at the remote when the bar is turned. Too
much tension will cause the hose to disconnect from the remote.

NOTICE
To ensure a square cut and to prevent damage to the hose, use only a

Thread the remote lever hose barb into the hydraulic hose. Hold the
end of the hose and rotate the remote lever clockwise while pushing
the remote lever barb into the hose. Stop when the hose is hand tight
on the hose barb.
NOTICE
Do not over-tighten and strip the threads inside the hydraulic hose. If
the hose is over or under tightened, hydraulic fluid can leak.
This concludes the hose replacement procedure for the RockShox®
Reverb™ Stealth and Reverb adjustable height seatposts.
The hydraulic remote system must be bled after a new hose is installed. Proceed to Remote System Bleed.
Reverb 1x™ Remote Upgrade Kit: The Reverb 1x Remote upgrade lever
does not contain hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic remote system must be
bled after a new Reverb 1x Remote lever is installed for the first time.

Reverb 1x Remote: To open the system, turn the bleed port screw
counter-clockwise one quarter turn. Then turn the bleed port screw
clockwise until light resistance is felt, then stop.
The bleed port must be opened with a hex wrench the first time it is
opened.
Insert the Bleeding Edge syringe bleed fitting into the remote bleed

Install the bleed screw and tighten.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the remote and clean it with a rag.
Test remote hydraulic pressure: Depress and release the actuator five
times to allow the actuator to return to the fully extended position.
Pull back on the actuator. If the actuator does not move, the bleed was
successful and is complete. If the actuator can be pulled back, fluid
volume and pressure are insucient and the Remote and Seatpost
Bleed procedure must be repeated.
Confirm fluid is not leaking from either end of the hose when the
actuator is depressed. If a leak is detected, the hose must be tightened
and the bleed procedure may need to be repeated.
When the bleed is complete, remove the remote from the handlebar.

While applying light opposing pressure to the syringe body, slowly pull
up on the syringe plunger to draw a vacuum. Hold the plunger in the
extended drawn position.
Air bubbles may be drawn into the syringe. This is normal.
NOTICE
Do not pull the syringe plunger without applying opposing pressure
to the syringe body. Excessive pulling will pull the syringe Bleeding
Edge™ fitting out of the remote lever.
While holding the sryinge plunger extended with a vacuum drawn,
slowly press the remote lever once.
Hold the lever down; do not release.
Air bubbles will exit the lever and enter the syringe.
While holding the lever down, release the syringe plunger to release
the vacuum inside the syringe.
With the remote lever pressed down, apply light pressure to the
syringe plunger and push fluid into the remote.
NOTICE
Do not push the syringe plunger with excessive force. The syringe
bleed fitting may be forced out of the lever body if fluid exceeds the
bleed fitting-remote coupling strength.

Slowly push the syringe plunger down while simultaneously slowly
releasing the remote lever, applying light opposing pressure on the
lever, then release pressure from the syringe.
Do not release pressure from the remote lever until it is fully extended.
When the remote lever is fully extended, release pressure from the
syringe.
Repeat this process (steps 1 through 4) five to six times, until no
bubbles, or very few bubbles, are visible exiting the lever.
Air bubbles will be visible exiting the remote during this process.
While pressing down lightly, turn the Bleeding Edge™ tool clockwise
until it stops. Turn the tool with a moderate amount of additional torque
to close the bleed port.
Hold the wings on the Bleeding Edge tool to apply torque while
turning.
The system is now closed.
While applying light opposing pressure to the syringe body, slowly pull
up on the syringe plunger to draw a vacuum.
Hold the plunger in the extended drawn position.
NOTICE
Do not pull the syringe plunger without applying opposing pressure

With the syringe plunger extended, hold the Bleeding Edge™ tool and
gently but firmly, remove it from the bleed port.
NOTICE
Do not pull the syringe or hose. This could cause separation and loss
of fluid.
Do not rock the Bleeding Edge tool side to side. This could damage the
tool and remote.
Absorb and remove any excess fluid from the bleed port with a rag.
Test remote hydraulic pressure: Press and release the remote lever
five or six times and confirm the lever retracts slowly and smoothly with
no gaps in pressure.
Observe the bleed port. If fluid leaks from the bleed port when the
lever is pressed and released, the bleed port is not closed properly. If
fluid is visible, insert the Bleeding Edge tool and tighten the bleed port
before proceeding.
Confirm fluid is not leaking from either end of the hose when the
actuator is depressed. If a leak is detected, the hose must be tightened
and the bleed procedure may need to be repeated.
Turn the speed adjuster clockwise until it stops. This is the fastest
speed setting.

⚠ WARNING
Failure to use friction paste could allow the seatpost to slip during use,
which could lead to serious injury and/or death.
Set the seatpost to the desired ride height in the bicycle and tighten
the seatpost collar to the frame manufacturer's recommended torque,
but do not exceed 6.7 N•m (59 in-lb).
NOTICE
If the seatpost collar torque exceeds 6.7 N•m (59 in-lb), the seatpost
will not function properly.
Secure the hose to the frame.
