Thank you for purchasing the most innovative hydraulic dropper post on the market - the BikeYoke REVIVE. Your new seatpost is warranted for a period of two years from the date of purchase. The warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of the defective part and is the sole remedy of the warranty.

DO NOT DRILL OR MODIFY YOUR FRAME IN ANY WAY. Doing so will void the Warranty of REVIVE and in most cases void the warranty of your bicycle. Modification of your frame in any way may result in frame faliure which could result in injury or death.

BEFORE INSTALLING THE SEATPOST Please be sure that your new REVIVE is designed to fit in your frame. All REVIVE models are designed to fit either 30.9mm or 31.6mm or 34.9mm seat tube inner diameters in frames, originally designed for internal cable routing. Improper fit may cause slippage, faulty performance, injury or death and may result in void of warranty.

MINIMUM INSERTION DEPTH All seatpost models must be inserted into the bicycle’s seat tube while covering the minimum insertion line indicated on the seatpost. Insufficient insertion of the seatpost into the bicycle frame’s seat tube could MIN INSERT result in damage to the seatpost and/or bicycle and may result in a loss of control of the bicycle which...

DETERMINING CABLE HOUSING LENGTH DETERMINING CABLE HOUSING LENGTH Temporarily install the remote lever in the desired final location. The 2-by remote can be installed on either the right or left side of the handlebar. NOTE: You will use this position to determine cable length, but remove and reinstall the lever again in a later step.
Page 9
Triggy remote is installed via a snap-on clamp to the handlebar, or optionally via I-Spec adapters. Use a torque of 1-2Nm on the pinch bolt of the snap-on clamp. The Triggy remote can only be installed on the left side, underneath the handlebar.

With the housing and noodle in place at the remote lever, route the housing through your bicycle frame per your bicycle frame manufacturer's specifications. To determine the correct length for your housing, pull the housing to remove excess slack with the handlebars turned more than 90°...

Mark the location on your cable housing at the seat collar as it protrudes from the seat tube. Pull the cable housing out of the seat tube (you may need to take off the remote from the handlebar, to pull the housing out completely) and make another mark 90mm in the direction of the handlebar.

Ferrule DETERMINING INNER CABLE LENGTH With the housing still routed through Cable Housing your frame, install the ferrule on the free end of the cable housing. Make sure to push the ferrule competely onto the cable housing. Feed the inner wire through the remote lever, ellbow noodle and cable housing.

Slide the open barrel nut over the inner cable. Hold the cable housing with the end of the ferrule to the seatpost's lower end and use the laser engraved length gauge to find the correct position for the barrel nut. The correct length of the innner cable is 17mm longer than housing including ferrule 3.
Page 14
CONNECTING THE CABLE CONNECTING THE CABLE TO THE SEATPOST Insert the barrel nut end into the actuation lever. Guide the inner cable through the slotted cable end stop and push the ferrule firmly into the cable end stop by hand. Gently pull on the outer housing and move the lever down to pass the cable end stop with the ferrule.

INSERTING THE SEATPOST INSERTING THE SEATPOST Insert the seatpost into your seattube. When inserting or extending, make sure you do not pull too hard on the outer housing, while guiding it through the internals of your frame, as you may pull the ferrule out of the cable stop.

SADDLE INSTALLATION SADDLE INSTALLATION Once you have installed your REVIVE seatpost into your seat tube you will need to install your saddle. Unscrew the two saddle head clamp bolts, barrel nuts, upper and lower floating clamp using a T25 Torx wrench (4mm Allen key on older versions).

ADJUSTING RETURN SPEED Your REVIVE comes with a factory setting of 240~250psi in air pressure. This pressure will provide a good balance between return speed an lever force. However, if you feel your return speed is too slow, you can...
Page 18
Pump the post to desired pressure. We do not recommend pressures lower than 200psi, since it can make the post become very slow. Maximum pressure is 260psi. We recommend to use a high quality shock pump with a 2- step valve to avoid air loss, when detaching the pump. Remove pump and adapter from the post.

When you receive your post, it will have travelled a long way to you. This may have oil and air get mixed up and let your post feel springy. After installing your post, do a hydraulic reset, using the REVIVE's patented reset feature: 1. Push the remote to extend the post completely.
Page 20
LOWERING AND RAISING THE SADDLE To lower the saddle, push the trigger and then weight the saddle firmly by hand or by sitting on it. Apply force only in the direction of the seat tube axis, as this will ensure smoothest action and reduce wear of pins and bushings inside the post.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Your REVIVE seatpost requires periodic service to maintain consistent function. Please check our website www.bikeyoke.com for detailed service intervall documents.
Page 22
Give the post a few minutes between each reset procedure for the oil to settle down. My REVIVE moves a little bit, when I am pushing on it. Every hydraulically locked post - no matter which brand - allows a little bit of movement, when you sit or push on it. This is normal and you can find the most important reasons below: •...

Not only will your REVIVE benefit from this, but also your frame bearings. Always give your bike some time to thoroughly dry after washing.
Page 24
Use the torque on your seat collar as low as possible, just so that your REVIVE does not slip inside the seattube, but in any case do not tighten with more than 5Nm.
