100psi, assuming I can trust my Silca pump.
I weigh 155 pounds.

Inflation pressure should be appropriate for one's weight. Like all suspension systems, less force is needed for a lighter payload.
Someone had a guideline for how much the tire should deflect when the rider is on the bike. I think it was something like the tire height should decrease 15%, but I don't recall any details.
