Hello Frank,
I have a Classic Mono with the original red block, however, I installed 
the shock absorber dampers.  I fly exclusively off of hard surfaces (wou
ld like to try turf one day).  I typically run about 22 psi tire pressur
e.  I found that lower pressure results in the caliper rubbing against t
he tire which is located in the original position.  I may try moving it.
  I typically will have a slight bounce on landing, although I have not 
noticed a big difference between 18 psi and 22 psi.  I have had some rea
lly nice landings and some not so nice. During the flare I attempt to ke
ep the plane flying as long as possible before allowing the tail wheel t
o contact the runway first...stick back and she is down.  If she comes d
own too earlier then a bounce is inevitable.
Check that you have the shock absorber installed.  Good luck.
