My remote/lever is stuck and does not return, after pushing it
This is most likely due to one of the following reasons:
•
The linkage at the bottom of the post is dirty or not properly
greased/lubricated. Over some time, bikes collect dirt
and
mud inside the frame after washing. This mud can get
to
the leverage mechanism, when having the bike upside
down (for example after washing). Cleaning and
generously re-greasing the bottom mechanism should
solve
this. Use only thick bearing grease. If you often wash
your
bike, using a lot of water, it is recommended to
remove the
seatpost after washing, so you can get rid of
excessive
water and mud through the open seattube. Not
only will
your REVIVE benefit from this, but also your frame
bearings.
Always give your bike some time to thoroughly
dry after
washing.
•
The air pressure is not correct. The usual air pressure of the
post is between 210-250psi. Less pressure inside the air
chamber, does not only mean slower return speed, but
also
less return pressure for the push rod,
which
engages the
lower leverage unit. Reset the post and fully extend it. Then
wait for a few minutes, before you pump the post to 250
psi
in upright position and using a shock pump with a
double-
step valve, to avoid air loss when detaching the
pump. In
rare cases the valve core (valve insert) might
have gotten
a little bit loose after the first couple of rides
rides, resulting
in very subtle air loss over weeks or months.
Use a valve key
to torque the schrader valve core to the
correct 0,5Nm for
proper sealing function.
