I settled on 12/14 and am very impressed at what it is capable of on trails. Thanks!
That does sound quite low, and cushy. The lowest I tend to go is 17-19 on my 650Bx47's, tubeless. I weigh about 138lbs., bike is about 30lb I'd guess. Could get away with lower. It is very rocky here though, and I do ride my gravel bike "like a mountain bike"
Interesting how the Rene Herse calc comes in much higher than the Silca one for my spec (though there's not many variables in theirs):
