My experience has been that the machined xd cassettes last so much longer than the pinned cassettes that they are actually cheaper over time. This been primarily with 11 speed XX1 cassettes.

What if the shifter pinched the cable somewhere near the barrel adjuster? That could cause it to back the head out of its spot when you hit the release button to shift to a smaller cog. Once the cable is backed out, all hell breaks loose because who knows where it will jam up in there.

I'm a 140 lb rider on an Optic. I feel the rear end bob and I can't get the damn Pike Select on the front to start moving unless I lower the pressure until it dives.

This is why the SKS is so much better than the Accu-gage.

I've got the 0-15 and the 0-30. I want to like them, but my issue with these is that if you drop it once, its likely ruined, but there's no way to tell unless you check it with a known accurate gauge.

Last winter my 0-15 was reading 1.5psi while the brand new 0-30 was reading closer to 4 psi. 

At this point, my thumb is more trustworthy than either gauge.

Whoa! I didn't know they finally widened the 20/20! I heard someone recovering from a shoulder injury say on a podcast last week that the 20/20 bars they bought were too wide and my brain went all wonky because I thought they were saying 720mm was too wide.

I didn't get along with it for a front tire, especially coming from the previous XR3 which I thought was an incredible front tire for XC. I feel like they weren't quite sure whether to go all tee way with the side knobs. The side knobs have a big footprint, but then are low to begin with and then actually ramp down toward the center section.

Me too! I have all the stuff for half a dozen hobbies, but 30 minutes free per day just doesn't cut it.

I'll have to try out the Koda since I usually find myself nodding in agreement with your gear recommendations.

I always thought that the Pure-V had too much of the WTB whale tail on it and made moving around on the saddle more difficult. To me the Volt is the same saddle with less cushioning - and hence the same issue. 

I wonder how much of OEM saddle spec comes down to looks in promo shots. A Silverado might not be comfortable for a majority of people, but it looks pretty good in photos.
