NoLimits - Bike Stand
Simple & effective, we have here a bike stand from NoLimits, a UK based company offering products aimed at the racers among us.
Sometimes someone brings a product to your attention which makes you take a second look. I for one frequently want to stand the bike up after a run to do some basic work without dropping it on the ground or having to carry a full work stand around. Something small and simple would be ideal, so when I was offered a stand from NoLimits to use, I immediately grabbed it. The NoLimits stand is very similar to that which you will find in use by most of your local bike stores to display their bikes but this has a few subtle differences.Words: Alasdair MacLennan, Pics: Ian MacLennan

Firstly, this has no issue holding 2.5” tyres and also has wider feet to give it stability on the rough ground that tends to make up the parking at most venues. And just to make doubly sure it’s solid, there are also holes which allow it to be pegged down. Since getting hold of this I find myself using it more and more when working on the bike, from those simple bits of maintenance between runs to pressure washing the muck off at the end of the day. Handy for keeping the bike out of the way when storing it too.

Made in the UK from steel, it should stay looking good thanks to tough black powder coating and price wise comes in at £25 which seems pretty good value just now. They’re also available in a slightly narrower 2.35” version which is more suitable for BMX’s and 4x bikes whilst there are wall hangers for the workshop and, for the teams out there, a large A-Frame is currently being prototyped. If you’re at any of the UK NPS races this year then you will be able to take a look at them in the flesh in the MSC team pits while the NoLimits guys should also be on hand along with some of their other products should you want to have a chat.

There is really nothing special or even remotely new about it.
Sure it does the job of standing your bike up, but you can only do work to non rotating parts of your bike (minus cranks).
Just a solid built stand. Nothing More.
though leaning is free...
wingman303 > Are they bushes made of daggers? Or is your bike made of paper?
mojoloz > completely agree!
Other than that, go raid the construction site. (If you can find one...)
as mentioned above that stand looks like all of the force is on the spokes. if the vertical parts were wider and caught the tires i think it would be better. imho
bought something for about US$10 that works great!
it even has padded hooks on the side that can grab onto the chainstay/seatstay to raise the rear wheel so you can work on it!
A waste of money IMO, you can't use it to setup your gears either because you cant rotate the rear wheel in it.
all though the comment was left after yours, so we will let you off
