I don't know anything about UCI but keirin is intentionally a very narrow and heavily restricted slice of sport cycling. I've never heard anyone who is into it have anything negative to say about NJS's equipment restrictions. It is like how even though riflery is a sport, archery still is too. The governing body of archery isn't doing something profane by restricting the technology of the sport, that restriction is the sport.
- zh3 3y agoAgreed, Keirin (in my limited knowledge) aims to keep things pure in their particular area (making competition a level playing field). By comparison, the UCI wants to have control over a much wider part of cycling (and so want to rule over what innovations we can and can't have).
