I don't want to start a boring setup discussion, but seeing that o-ring on the photos I wonder whether "more supportive damping in midstroke" or just a bit much of spacers and pressure is the reason?
I am the same weight (but old and slow..) and run about the same pressure - but with no/one spacer - on my older 38, and rode similar trails in Finale Ligure, and the o-ring never went beyond those ca 150mm. Should it be that way, to have something left for those bad landings, or is it because with lower pressure the midstroke support would be lacking (well it does with mine, but I have the eBike Grip2 vvc, which is soft)?
