What other bike features have attracted a "suicide" nickname? The ones I can think of are "suicide levers" for dual brake levers, "suicide shifter" for the early direct action front derailleurs or sometimes for stem shifters and "suicide hub" for a fixed sprocket with a right hand threaded lockring.
