When you receive your post, it will have travelled a long way to 

you. This may have oil and air get mixed up and let your post feel 

springy.

After installing your post, do a hydraulic reset, using the REVIVE's 

patented reset feature: 

The correct function should be completely restored after this 

procedure. If it still feels springy, repeat the reset procedure, if 

applicable wait a few minutes between to resets to give the oil a 

few minutes to settle down.

Use the reset function, whenever your post starts to feel springy. 

"Springyness" can be caused by storing your bike upside down 

or laying for a while. Try to store or park your bike only in upright 

position to avoid the need for a reset.
