People's favourite value for money bike stands? Preferably no more than £100
X-Tools home mechanic stand, unsure of current price but, was £45 on the run up to Christmas (crc) I was sceptical however, it's an amazing stand, far better quality than my friend's Park Tool stand, it folds, has a quick release clamping system the head can rotate 360 degrees and it doesn't even flinch holding my 39lb Kona. The one thing it lacks is a tool tray.

Edit:

Current CRC price is £69.99

Looks sweet, f*ck the park tool!
That's exactly the same as my fat spanner one, good stand

thank you for answer
I need this tool, and then I have to unscrew?
Where I can buy this tool?

I'd go to your local Devinci dealer/distributor, see if they don't have one. If not try emailing Devinci directly, see if they couldn't sell you one.

Once you have the tool, you unscrew the 4 hole "cap" on the drive side and then slide out the sleeve.

Thank you very very much

Freeborn might be able to help as well with finding the tool.

Frame bearings greased! Used gt85 to loosen the dirt and crap, then applied grease. Still had dirt in after the first grease application, so gt85 until the grease staying clean after spinning!

I brought mine from off ebay ways a bit but works brilliantly iv had 3 different downhill bikes on there (not at the same time) also worked on my xc/dirt bike and my road bike with it. The bike stand cost about £35 http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=150544733103

Hey guys, I've been banging my head against the wall for the past few days trying to figure this problem out with my 2010 Demo 8. I just recently bought the frame and built it up and the only problem I'm having with it is the drive train alignment! It's a 73mm BB frame and I made sure to put the one spacer on the drive side of the BB and yet when the derailleur is in the slackest position it won't go into the highest gear. Below are some pictures of the alignment.

Bad alignment. For forum use.

I don't believe that I've ever run into this problem on any bike. Am I missing something really simple?

Did you get new drivetrain? If not your new frame may be different geometry (stays in particular). It seems like you may just need to adjust your Derailler a bit. I have zero experience in that department.

I have a truax which uses the same fsr linkage and I cannot run that small of a cassette due to that. Also I know that demos need a special type of dish on their rear wheel.
