109psi sounds like a lot for those forks.
#doyouknowwhoiam #hippyisfat ;)
I think 109psi was what their app suggested when given a 95kg rider + kit weight. I think I'm more like 95kg alone now and then add on 4-5L of water, batteries, food, repair kit, etc and it's more like 115kg. But even the weekend's ride it was ~100psi so below what their app suggests.
I wonder if I'm riding further back than other riders would? ie. more upright, less hunched over the bars like an a XC racer.
I made a note after the weekend's ride to drop my bars. Mostly for the aeros in headwinds and to keep my back more locked in but I wonder if that will impact the weight on my hands negatively.

I've just fitted a set to my Solaris and the Rockshox app recommended something like 89psi with a 83kg rider weight.
I'm sure one of the reviews of them suggested running lower pressures than listed for them.
