Hi
I'm 17st and ride some DH so I opted for 3 tokens as from the factory I kept bottoming out. Now I have installed them I can't seem to use the top 25mm of travel but if I lower psi then I bottom out !! There doent seem to be a sweet spot.

Manual says to set your sag with no tokens. Then add one at a time as necessary to increade progressiveness and bottom out resistance. Some compression damping will help as well.

17st and using pikes for dh, I would have thought bottom out would be enevatable tbh, think your pushing them past what they were designed/capable off. I'd say get a custom dampener tune or change forks for summat beefier ie vengeance or the new lyric. Stopping bottom out takes compression dampening to be set right to and don't think rockshox thought about 17st and dh use.
