    Avid don't make SPDs. Shimano do though.

    Hardtail vs. fs would probably do the trick too. How about.. 'what is the most combination of suspension/wheelsize/pedals/tyres/lights?'

    I think that covers most things.

    Are helmets dangerous, a survey says......

    Or I ride a 29 singlespeed fs with flats and no helmet, is this right?

    Yes they are, but if you ain't entering/training for races, then you're wasting your own time. :wink:
