Any tips
Set tire to whatever PSI. Lean bike against wall. Grip the wheel with your palms close together on the tread. Push down with body weight through your palms in to the tyre.
If you can push it down to the rim easily, not enough air. If you find it really hard to compress the tyre, too much.

Finally, the true reason mudguards cannot be fitted to gravel bikes
BareNecessities
yoshy
for someone entirely new to gravel bikes aka finally using his gravel bike for what's it supposed to be made for and not just commuting, I've installed rock 'n road tyres. I've set them up tubeless although they are not. I went for a 45 km mtb ride yesterday and they held up fine. Now I'm wondering which tire pressure I should ride. I've no idea except that I bounced of my saddle a few times yesterday so 5 bar was way too hard. Any tips except for lowering it bit by bit?
