  • Inflate tire until bead snaps into place
  • Measure tire height
  • Multiply tire height by 15%
  • Adjust my sag gauge to (tire height x 15%)
  • Orient valve stem so I can reach while sitting on saddle
  • Place sag gauge on rim
  • Reach down and let air out until sag gauge shows level
  • Get off bike and take pressure reading to note for future

Alternatively one could use the Frank Berto chart and fudge the different tire pressure required for tires of different casing stiffness.
