NJS frames with tight clearance?

Hey everybody!

Which NJS keirin manufacturers have in your opinion the tightest clearance overall.
What I'm looking for is:
1. very very tight wheel clearance (to down-tube, seat-tube and fork-crown)
2. small rake (steep headtube angle)
3. straight fork crown
4. compact overall geometry
I do have a Makino, but it's not as slammed as I'd loved to.

Much appreciated!

Best,
Alex

you can cold set your fork for tighter downtube clearances by riding into a wall quite quickly. try and do it straight on to avoid any lateral adjustments

Bridgestones are tight:

@Trasher: Yes, that's true... I did notice that Bridgestones tend to have tight clearance at the fork, I just couldn't find any one of those available till now. For example, I was looking at this one, but it doesn't seem to be so slammed

Don't know yet. But even if once or twice, it will be mainly for the road.

Most njs frames are custom built for the need of each specific racer. So geometry and clearances will always differ.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
