packed down is a phononoman that occurres (sp) when you grab the brake and or while hitting bumps in the road. what happens is for each consecutive bump your suspension will move further and further down the stanchion till you have no more travel left. e.g. your rebound cant react fast enough to your compression. to test this you use rumble strips on approaching roundabouts/junctions.

dont worry with 7.5w and .85 linear and 11-12st rider you will be fine as i can guarantee you will have a little overshoot on your rebound.
