Shock air preasure?

So, it's time for another post. What are you guys running for shock pressure in your floats up front? I ran 70 pounds last season. Just based on feel. I weigh 200 lbs. Not much trail usage, only mountain riding.

i was running around 85 but i was around 250 with gear on. i have lost about 45 lbs and won't be carrying as much gear this year so i was going to drop to 70 and see how it rode.

Cool big D. Do you check the pressure with the front end off the ground? That's what I have always done. I wonder if 70lbs is 70lbs. Unweighted, or weighted sled. Are they the same measurement? Kind of a silly question, but when you think of it, is it the same measure of preasure?

y i set mine with the front end hanging. that is what they say to do. if you check it with it on the ground afterward it is higher because you have the weight of the sled starting to compress the shock.
