I have my (completely rebuilt like new) 5th dialed in on
my Bullit and it is awsome. I really put it through the
paces today.
I started with 150psi but after hitting about 10 jumps and
4 drop offs
(w/run outs) 5' to 6' with in a 2 hour ride the air was down
to 115psi.
I have read posts on mtbr that say the shock will leak air
the first couple of rides. Is this true? Is the psi I lost
OK? Normal? Or do I have a problem.
TIA
Could the 35psi I lost be due to screwing the pump back on
to check the psi?

Yes.
You need to take that into account when testing.

I have to say that this is a tottally amazing shock! I
really can't believe that the Bullit (38lbs.) climbs so
amazingly well. It is like riding a really heavy hardtail
with a 7" fork that bobs like crazy (if you stand up).
Maybe someday they will make a spv long travel fork. I can
dream eh?!

Both ways, taking the shock off (initially) and screwing it
back on to check. But I have also heard that Progressive,
while building a very nicely performing shock, has some
durability issues.
