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.

I tried out an old base model Deva on your recommendation. It is a step up in comfort from the Silverado that I have been running on all my bikes for years. Another plus is that with steep seat tubes all over the place, the short nose gives back a bit of room between seat and stem.

Shimano has been halfway decent with Di2 compatibility. One example I can think of is that 11spd Ultegra brifters can pair with an Ultegra 10spd derailleur and work just fine. There is also compatibility between road and mtb where possible.

I think I remember reading that the pivot bolt is a chainring bolt.
