Hi

I purchased a bike 2nd hand and the previous owner has lavished the front aerospoke and frame with a variety of garish stickers. I attempted to peel/scratch one of the stickers off using my fingernails and was left with the majority of the sticker still there except it now looks very messy.

Does anybody have any tips for easy removal of said stickers.
I was recommended using Eucalyptus oil however I am uncertain if this is a genuine tip or simply pulling my leg.

Any and all advice is helpful!

Thanks

A couple of ways.
A hair dryer or a heat gun, go easy with the heat gun.
or
You can buy a label removing liquid from a stationery shop.

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:

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.
