This is the first 204 prototype back in early 1998

Is Tomac alive again?

I have a hosted demo (read-only) version of by analysis software live at demo.bodaqs.net . No installation needed, just follow the link. If you want, there are some short familiarization videos on YouTube, here . As usual, I welcome and encourage all feedback. I'm aiming for a quality product here, and I'm grateful for the insight others have brought to it this far. I'll be publishing the most recent logger design this week too - stay tuned :-) Build website: bodaqs.net Instagram.com/bodaqs Github.com/benconnor1972/bodaqs https://discord.gg/rpqqWbtwXJ

IMHO Shimano forever, for both pedals and shoes. Agree about the skake-y feeling being a particular shoe interacting with pedal problem. What makes a good shoe or pedal is incredibly individual though, so take my opinion for what it is, just an opinion. Crank brothers feel good, but require 10x the maintenance of Shimano. I used to be die-hard CB but I broke so many wings and the bearings need replacing sooo much more than Shimano. Shimano bearings rarely need adjustment and never need replacing. Shimano use the same cup and cone system they've been using for 30+ years and...

Read through your whole post and would still recommend the XT Trail pedal. Your float issue seems like more a shoe/pedal combo thing than a XT pedal thing. Maybe I'm just less sensitive to it but I swap back and forth between flats and clipless with frequency. I've recently run 5.10 and Shimano shoes and they have worked well together. I'd also recommend the new Shimano MT001 cleats and would strongly discourage using the SH56 cleats.

I'd say if you service once a year- you're ahead of most. It'll be fine unless you ride year round in Scotland or somewhere super muddy.

I think I could count the number of times I have washed any of my helmets ever on two hands...

This seems like a terrible idea. It's not even safe to wash many dishes, pots, pans, and knives in a dishwasher. If anodized aluminum frying pans get pitted in a dishwasher, I'll pass on putting my helmet in there. Also a single dishwasher cycle uses anywhere between 3-5 gallons of water per cycle, or even as much as 10 gallons for an old model (although I suspect Mads isn't using a dishwasher from 1995). But even if it's three gallons, that's an insane amount of water to wash a bike helmet.
