Just checked Reverb air pressure and it was about 160psi.
Not sure if it was this low when new (about a year ago). Never checked it.
Question is is this likely to give me problem in future.
Increasing the pressure to the recommended 250psi makes the actuation pressure on the lever much higher, as expected. Would prefer to leave it at 160 if it's not a problem to longevity.

    Check the sag would be the first thing I would think.
    If its not sitting too far into the travel with you just sat on it stationary, shouldnt be a problem.

    Reverbs don't have sag, they are seat posts.

    If it's working correctly and returns at an ok speed can't see it being a problem?

    Rock solid at this pressure so that's where it's staying.

    Biggest risk would seem to be that you'll now blow oil past the ifp into the air side. Then it'll sag and need a full service to repair.
