Is it just me or are rear shocks really difficult to get to a specific pressure? I kept thinking that air is bled out while removing the pump. I pump it to 190 and u thread it, thread it back in and it's 30psi lower, just from uninstall g and installing the pump. Forks are one thing being lower pressure plus higher volume but with so little volume and high pressure the tiniest moment of the valve opening or closing has to be losing air. Yet,reading forums it doesn't seem to be an issue for most people.

maybe try 220 then reattach and see it you actually got your 190. if so just aim for 220. Might be the pump you are using?
