Salesman at my LBS said 85-90 PSI would be fine. When I took in for the repair, the mechanic highly recommended 100-105. Sticking to what the mechanic said.
One of the selling points of tubeless is to be able to run lower pressures. Unless you're a Clyde on narrow tires, you should be running lower pressures. 60-80 lbs is VERY popular with road cyclists on 25-28 mm tires, and lower on wider tires or on gravel. The current thinking is that lower pressure gives a better ride and is faster.
Do some googling for research and recommendations in the past 2-3 years. Thinking on tire pressure is different than it used to be.
Ob. personal note - I'm a 165 lb rider running tubeless at 65-70 lbs in tubeless 26mm Specialized Turbos.
