Quick question, cheapest Reverbs atm?

I'll try Merlin - Rose have offered to replace or refund - thinking of refund then at least if it goes arse up again I can deal locally - plus Rose won't have one in til February!! Feck that!!

Sounds good mate - I'll see what Rose are going to refund me and if it's enough it looks like Merlin it is. How are Merlin at warranty for WHEN this one fecks up to? 

Sounds good to me.

Thanks Will, shall do.

Hows that injury again? 

Tried that mate - they have suddenly jumped in price.

Great price there H, I have decided I want to buy off a big dealer in the UK though, I haven't much faith in the reverb and if the new one goes again I don't want all the hassle of it having to go back to Germany again - cheers anyway mate.

Wonder what the crank bros Kronolog is like? certainly looks nice.

I just can't bring myself to get another Reverb. Think I have been totally soured towards them.
Don't get me wrong, I know they are a great bit of kit when they work, but what has really pissed me off is that Rockshox/SRAM refuse to stand behind their product when it does fuck up. I've heard of many cases now of them trying to blame the user ("you bent it" - me fucking arse I did), which in my mind is totally shit.
Also, from the off I wasn't a fan of the 'play' in the saddle that is normal in them anyway.

So, good old Rose have offered to refund me £210 so I can source my own post - and I'm going for the Thomson Elite.
2 year warranty and I've researched that Thomson stand behind their product, no arguing, no wriggling like Rockshox.

I can't believe I am ruining my stealthed up Chief and swapping hydraulic actuated for medieval cable but I just want a post that I know will be on the bike more than off it. More expensive than a Reverb but you get what you pay for.

All the reviews say it is beautifully made with zero side to side or vertical play, bombproof, the actuator can be fitted anywhere on the bars and it's a joy to own so that's me. I'll put up with the shitty gold shaft as long as it works.

Cheers all for the suggestions.  

I thought you'd had one Munky at some point. Glad I've made the decision now because if I'd stuck with a Reverb I'd just be riding around waiting for it to go on me again. I can get one for £235 as well so it's not even much more than a standard Reverb.

No, the Paddies.

Did you get the 'verb stealth for your build Jay?  Did you look at the Thomson covert?


Covert

Shame they can't be as straight forward with introducing custom build options on the Tusker
