Great video as usual. Using the pump to remove the IFP as opposed to the zip tie tip is worth it's weight in gold. Used to service tons of these in the UK, but hardly see them in use any more, as cable droppers got better (and cheaper) than the reverb these fell out of favour. Only really see them now if fitted to a bike new, but hardly anyone buying them aftermarket now.
Thank you for the kind words myman. If they hadn't come with new bikes, there probably wouldn't have been any sales at all within the last 3 or so years. 😁 There's LOTS of these on the used market. You can easily get a b1 or c1 these days for between $20 and 50$. It's still a really good post, and with regular maintenance, it'll last for quite a while. But I totally agree, buying the cable version new doesn't make sense these days. Way better options for much less cost IMO
Thank you very much for the thoughtful compliment. My primary objective is to assist others. If the videos achieve that goal, I am satisfied ! Plus, SRAM would probably fit me with concrete boots and drop me in the Chicago River if they caught wind of these videos 😁
Yup! I mentioned this twice in the video and specifically say not to do this when servicing it. The only reason I used a hole based softjaw was for better camera shots, otherwise the camera would have been to far back
Super. Than You!

professional tutorial, sram should pay you and use them on their official website

It’s much easier to just put the post in the flat jaws from the seat post head to open it up and no need to clamp in the round soft jaws at all.
