Scenery of Japnese KEIRIN track
Hi!! KONNICHIWA Keirin fan
I introduce a peculiar machine that is the appearance with Keirin track of Japan.
< Frame load strength testing machine >
This is an inspection done the day before when Keirin race starts.
This machine examines whether the bicycle is fixed to the machine, it applies load to
the pedal(about 120kg), and the crack exists in the frame pipe.
This chance operates according to the oil pressure.
< Steel bar Correction machine >
This machine uses it to correct steel Keirin bar.
Width, reach, and the drop of bar can be accurately bent.
This machine is very expensive.
< Japanese Keirin style Bicycle maintenance stand >
This stand is used to maintain track bike.
It is used a lot in Keirin track of Japan.
When the chain is cleaned, it is convenient because the rear wheel can be turned.
When the chain is oiled, extra oil can be taken by placing toilet paper between the chain and doing.
It's Keirin style
The player who came from foreign countries has felt admiration.
Hereafter, I will show everyone the scenery of Keirin track.

Tomity - thanks for posting this! Very interesting. Every time I see anything new Keirin-related, I can't wait to make my way to Japan for it!

I'm not too curious about an aluminium frame or carbon so much as I've ridden both but I am curious about how a ti frame rides.

yeah, those are cool. I could MAKE that stand, but I think I might modify it slightly so it would work with flat bars as well as drops.

As for Keirin, it's more the race format and competition that I dig (and everything around it) than the bikes themselves, though Keirin bikes are sexy, sexy machines. The bikes are also nice and clean, aesthetically-speaking.

Thanks
DW
Thanks

The check to recognize the frame of NJS officially is different from this work.
The destruction inspection of the frame will be done.

BTW, I don't mean to do nitpicking, but your Japanese phrase earlier is not exactly right. It literally means "thank youself." It should read "anatani kansha shimasu."

NJS is Nihon Jitensha Sinkokai
as Japan Bicycle Promotion Institute.
Only parts that adhere the mark of NJS can be used in Keirin race.
