Any tips except for lowering it bit by bit?
Yes, lower it a lot. Then if they flop annoyingly when you corner, or you smack your rim on obstacles frequently, put more air in.
And don't worry if your pressure numbers are higher or lower than other peoples', because they weigh a different amount, have different tyres, ride on different terrain than you do.

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?
