Yeah, I had very much the same experience.
I’d thought about going up to the 180mm air spring, thinking that would sit closer to a static 170mm.
I couldn’t really figure out if doing that actually made sense or not though.
TotalShanner-
From everything I've read, it does if static geometry is important to you. It was also pointed out to me that in use, static geo is irrelevant.
I think the confusion lies in what is deemed "usable travel", where it might look like you've lost 5mm of travel, but you still have it, it's just negative travel which ultimately gives you more traction.I think, anyway.

Fitted the B1 spring to my Lyriks this morning, it sits down maybe 5-8mm at most. Feels much softer and smoother off the top compared to the C1 though
