The Ultimate Brakeless/Front/Rear/How many brakes? thread

It's a point made a million times before. If we were all to start threads when we had our own special insight into a topic, we would be on Bikeradar or worse.

Helmets are a good / bad idea, because I have an anecdote that makes my opinion more valid than others. Maybe I should start a thread, and make some facile emotional claims.

Anecdote, I'll give you anecdote.

This helmet WILL (thats right, WILL) save you from everything, including your pathetic life.
