A lot easier than some of these other DIY hacks.

This is a great video - thanks. My ~2018 Reverb Stealth is rarely compressed but has developed a loud creak under pre-loading sag, IE, when sitting on the saddle or every slight unweighting with each pedal stroke. I have not stripped it yet but was wondering if this is a known issue - it is definitely in the Reverb and not in the frame or saddle. Varying the pressure 190-250 psi makes no difference but the creak is much less obvious in colder temperatures, below ~15^C. Other than that, it works as normal, fully locking out at arbitrary heights, with minimal sag (activation is via SRAM Force LH lever, as this is a 1-by setup - Vielo V+1).

this sound is probably from one of two sources: from dirt in bushings/brass keys; from top out plastic ring. you can try to clean bushings without opening oil system - step 2.5 is last step for you while disassembling. usually it is preety easy. if this not helps, probably there is a problem with top out ring. it is inside a part i hold at time 7:55. newer service kits contains this part. older kits contains only inner seal and topout plastic ring, but inner seal is very hard to replace.

@@cassobiker Thanks - I found my problem: My dropper collapsed last Sunday and the culprit was the lower circlip; the OEM part is vulnerable to corrosion and mine had almost completely vanished before bursting through. I only retrieved a tiny fragment. I opted to buy a 3rd party stainless steel replacement and guessed this size (30.9mm OD dropper post): Simplybearings: 1 x Stainless Internal Circlip 29mm Diameter Un-Sprung Dia 31.1mm pack of 2, £6.49 These are probably one size too big: although they fit inside at full circlip plier compression, they have a thickness of 1.1-1.2mm which did not cleanly seat in the undercut, so I flat ground it to 0.9-1.0mm with a Dremel disk and chamfered the upper surface, keeping the working face untouched and sharp. This worked perfectly on tonight's 20 mle test ride - silent, with no creaks!

Could it be that i did something wrong. I'm sure my IFP is set correctly. Around 51mm for my 150 B1.
