Thanks so much for this. The RockShox site doesn't even have a video for the stealth, and even though it's similar, it's nice to see the exact product you're dealing with. Tried it for the first time and it worked great. No more relying on a shop for this and now I can just bleed it when it starts to slow down a bit instead waiting for a near failure.

Beware of nicking the "O" ring on the top bleed connector, the Bleeding Edge Tool. There seems to be a sharp edge you need to get past to seal the bleeding edge tool "O" ring in position and it very easily nicks the ring. I've gone through the "O" ring that comes on the tool trying to do the final bleed up top. The part # for the replacement "O" ring that works is an Ace hardware #60 1/4 OD x 1/8 ID. If once the tool is set (you can feel resistance before opening the valve) you apply suction with the valve closed and bubbles come up the "O" ring is not sealing and may be nicked

+Benjamin Harvey I've got KLS crux I post. Took bike to local shop to have play in cranks removed. When mechanic fetched bike back out I realised he clamped bike by dropper post cause it left imprints in lube on scansion. Luckily nothing happened to post but God. Isn't it common sense not to do that?

+Peter Wobacz Time to get a new mechanic I reckon. I'd be well miffed! If the bike shop does need to clamp your bike in the stand they should loosen the post clamp. Expose more of the post and clamp to that. I regularly hang my bike from the saddle with the dropper up without troubles.
@mattbradshaw6456

+Benjamin Harvey Work stands use a soft jaw clap without much actual pressure, there is very little chance that it could damage the stanchion. Also mechanics are only ever going to clamp to the seatpost to do most repairs because of the potential to crush cabling or damage the frame. Furthermore clamping to the actual body of a dropper post is usually impossible to do because of minimum insertion depth.

Thanks for making this video. I'm fairly new to MTB and even newer to attempting DIY maintenance. Today my Reverb stopped working but with the help of your video I've gone from scared of the mystical world of hydraulics to a reverb bleeding ninja in 10minutes. Reverb fixed, and looking forward to getting it filthy tomorrow! Cheers! 👍🏽

You should know that this video only covers the hydraulic system that actuates the seatpost, i.e. releasing it and locking it at the height you want. It won't fix any vertical play problems that people are having. Unfortunately these require the seatpost to be rebuilt. If your seatpost is under warranty, SRAM will fix or replace it, mine just came back from them, but needs this hose bleed process. There are DIYs on rebuilding the post but it complex and needs some special tools.

Pro Tip on bleeding a reverb. Pull the actuator button all the way out, it tends to get gummed and won't fully return without a little help. The seatpost will pop faster for longer.

I don't quite understand why a $400 dropper post needs, in my case, excessive maintenance. I've had mine for a month, came installed on new bike. It froze up after 3 rides. $38 later after the shop bleed, it now will either freeze up or work slow in cold temperatures (below 45F). SRAM wants me to troubleshoot it?

Thanks a lot guys. I've done the bleeding and the pressure check. I'm having stealth post. #askthedon When I put my seatpost down. When I lift my but it does come back up just 10mm, enough to annoy me. It's like saying helllo I'm here. Any idea why this 10mm rise is happening? p.s. I believe the fluid is mineral oil and it's ok for your skin. p.s.2 I had some issues with the valve. It was releasing all the air when you remove the pump. I used shreder valve tool to un-tight and tight it which fixed it for me. Cheers, Vasil
