Our DeHy B1 Kit allows you to optimize ergonomics and reliability of your Reverb Stealth, by replacing the bulky original hydraulic remote with a standard cable actutation..
After conversion, your Reverb can be actuated by one of our standard cable remotes or by any other cable remote with enough cable pull. DeHy requires about 9mm of cable pull for maximum speed, which all of our remotes provide.
DeHy B1 is compatible with all Reverb Stealth versions of the B1 generation (not compatible with C1)
You can easily spot the difference between A1/A2 and B1 y the different looking upper tube.
A1/A2 versions have a completely black upper tube, whereas B1 versions have a goldish or silverish looking "ROCKSHOX" logo on the upper tube, right underneath the seatpost´s head (see picture below). A1/A2 version do not have any logo there. The also incompatible C1 versions have a "reverb" logo instead of "ROCKSHOX".
- Installation is fairly easy, since it does not require any opening of the post´s internal hydraulics. You simply need to take off the original hydraulic hose and replace the lower unit with our DeHy assembly and install the shift cable and remote for actuation. You should be able to do that in less than 10 minutes.
- Another benefit is the availability and pricing of spare parts. In case of a damaged or ripped cable after a crash, you can easily find a shift cable and outer housing in basically any local bike shop nearby, whereas it is going to be hard to find an immediate replacement of the original hydraulic hose and fittings.
- Compared to the original "Connectamajic" quick-connect hose, our DeHy saves quite some build height, which can be very useful in many cases to get some extra seatpost insertion into the seat tube.
- You will never have to bleed you original hydraulic remote hose again.
DeHy Kit includes:
- 1x full CNC aluminum DeHy assembly unit for Reverb Stealth A1/A2
- 1x outer housing 1600mm
- 1x inner cable 1800mm
- 2x endcap for outer housing
- 1x squeeze endcap for inner cable
- 1x barrel cable clamp for inner wire
- 1x remote (optional
- 1x Splits-clamp or I-Spec Adapter (optional)
Generally, one of our Triggy remotes should be first choice.
Only, if you already have a shifter or another remote on your handlebar left side you may need to go with our 2X Remote remote, which can be mounted left or right side and is a "push-down" style remote.
For Triggy there are a couple of variants to choose from:
- Triggy - the classic one
- Triggy Alpha - our top-end remote with ball bearing and angle adjustment - available ins two paddle lengths short and long
Triggy and Triggy Alpha short give a more crisp and direct lever feel, which we prefer for the REVIVE series.
Triggy Alpha long provides a softer lever feel.
Only for posts of the DIVINE family (which have higher operating pressures) we recommend the longer Triggy Alpha long - the choice is yours though. All our remotes will work with all of our posts.
You can find a table of recommendation below.
Triggys are alway mounted left side under the handlebar, similar to your derailleur shifter on the right side.
You can mount them via our BikeYoke Splits clamp on the handlebar or you can bolt them directly to your brake lever with a small adapter to save the extra clamp and keep your cockpit clean.
An overview of compatible brakes and adapters can be found below.
For Shimano brakes we offer our own BikeYoke I-Spec adapters and for other brands you will find adapters from your brake manufacturer directly.
Can I use my A1/A2 DeHy also with a Reverb B1 or C1?
No, different versions Reverbs have different connecting threads and so you need to choose the corresponding DeHy unit.
Currently we only offer DeHy for A1/A2 and for B1 Reverbs.
A DeHy fpr Reverb C1 is in the making.
Can I mount my DeHy to a non-Stealth Reverb (external cable routing)?
No, our DeHy can only be attached to Reverb Stealth versions.
