I’m 230lbs and used to running 25mm tires at 100psi, so I just pulled the idea of 55psi for the 47mm out of butt; any pressure reccos based on my weight?
The bike came tubed, and I didn’t feel like converting it to tubeless right now, but probably will at some point. My roadies are tubeless, so I have some familiarity there.
It’s great to know a pair of 16g cartridges will be ample, because I have some of those on hand to build a kit bag with! My wife is also getting suspicious about how much I’ve spent already— too many packages on the porch!— and it’s true I’m a bit over the number I had in my head, so I’m not chomping at the bit to throw down nearly $200 on an Impero pump immediately; that can wait until spring.
Awesome! Post pics!
Here is a good place to start for pressure:

I started riding 650b in the spring and will never go back to 700c. Welcome to the club
Don’t worry about tubeless for now. Just enjoy the ride!
