By comparison with hard tails which had gone before, I struggled when I first had my 26″ wheel Trance.
BB was lower with no sag anyway and felt impossibly low even at 20% sag! which was how I initially ran the shock, simply to overcome the “problem” .
A relatively short time later, realising that more, (30%) sag, really made the bike work better, I discovered that in the meantime, I really had adapted my riding style , almost subconsciously. By that I mean, not pedalling when I didn’t have to. Better pedal positioning , downhill over techy stuff and generally using the bike more efficiently.
Sure, I still get the odd strike, but then did on older bikes too, now and then.
