Are these ok ?
I know in the manual it states 164psi
And mine are little lower but are they in need of work ?

what power was this bike putting out with this compression mate, how much has it dropped since October?
They're fine.
They have to drop a lot more than that before it's worth doing anything.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
