Wish I had the same reliability experience as you...sadly my reverb stealth is the worst piece of kit I have bought to date...servicing / rebuilding it costs an arm and a leg so just went for something new...

Agree with rouxtjie. I had to service mine two to three times a year (non-stealth) that cost a fortune.

 

Eventually sold it and got a 2016 giant dropper - best decision ever.

Ja, it is nice and all, if it came with your bike . .cool.  

 

If you want to buy a dropper afterwards. 

I think the money can be spend on other options, you'll be just as happy, and you might even have some change left in you pocket.

3 months of trouble free riding on my reverb external routing 125mm travel dropper. Kicked my riding up a notch and made me feel a whole lot more confident on corners and descents. I had been forced to have my saddle very high as I have long legs and my centre of gravity always felt too high and the saddle in the way of moving around on the bike.

 

Worth every penny and hoping it lasts as the review suggests.

I also gave up on my RS reverb after a couple of rebuilds and gone back to normal seat post...

 

Have a KS on my other bike, its OK but its still new so will see how it goes.

Six months and had to be send in for service, came back and had same up/down play. Send in again and was reolaced with new one.

I've had my Reverb for over a year now without any issue. Maybe I've just been lucky. I think it's time for a service as its never been serviced before (3000km). Who in Joburg can service these droppers? I'm sure the bike shop will most likely send it to the agents for the service, but is there someone in Jozi that can do it and do it faster than the agents. Mine was bought from Chain Reaction Cycles and not bought locally.

honestly...my advise would be to let sleeping dogs lie. If it eventually starts developing up and down play...just buy a cheap and cheerfull.
