Got a new-to-me bike. It has some dumb stickers on it. Good way to get them off? Little heat? Goo Gone? Angle grinder?

Plasma torch should get you sorted.








I removed some sticky stuff from a brake line recently with silicone spray. Low chance of it harming the paint or anything and it'll leave the frame nice and shiny. Might need to encourage the sticky stuff to come off with a finger nail or plastic scraper. I used the WD40 silicone spray stuff, but looks like regular 'ole WD40 might work?

I'd say try heat to get the stickers off, then mineral spirits or goo gone. Is the frame metal or carbon?

also, where have you been @Fool ?

Oh, hey, I've been around, posting the usual dumb stuff here and there. Saw 6thE last night for a beer as he was in town.

Its an aluminum frame, so a little heat won't hurt it. I'll start with a little WD40 for any residue and up the caustic chemicals as needed until the paint boils off and the aluminum melts, and my fingers drip like candles.

This will take care of a sticker in no time.

did the sticker say something particularly offensive? like "trek" or "specialized" or "e-..."

Put some Gorilla Tape on them then tear it off like a Band-Aid, you'll have a nice clean hole in your frame that you can cover with Gorilla Tape.

You can try using a hairdryer or heat gun to warm up the sticker and loosen the adhesive. Once it's warm, use a plastic scraper or credit card to gently peel off the sticker.

Not on carbon...
