ENVE stem / seatpost logo removed - result!
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Evening all,
Removed the ENVE logo on my stem and seatpost for a more 'custom' look and really happy with the results... Started with 400 grit paper then 800, then 1200 then 1500 then rubbing compound then UV protection car wax polish.... I think it matches the frame tubes really well (but then i guess it should as these are also ENVE)! ?!?!?
Cheers,
Lig.

I've got a question about your derailleur setup. Are you using a 10sp cassette, do the shifters work well with the rear derailleur or have you moded the shifters to accept 11 speeds?

Hi LS,
Yeah I am running a 10 speed cassette, 10 speed shifters, 10 speed chain, 11 speed rear mech - it works perfectly, but then its the shifters that are doing the work.

Stunning bike. Looks good without the ENVE logos.
LittleSprinter, those ERGOs are clearly 10 speed.

Hi chaps and thanks...
I think you have a point there KB, I have 'blacked out' the LW logos before and i think your right I will ponder and maybe get onto it tomorrow.......
JMT - yeah - I just quite like having them totally 'unbranded' I would also then have to clear coat them as i dont like bare decals, they just look tatty quick - but i like your thinking....

Thats strange tho, 11 speed uses a different pull ratio then 10, the derailler should not be 'perfect' with those shifters ?

Did you use a black permanent marker on the wheels?
Hi all,
MattyNor / Crimsonbadger - The stem and seatpost sanded - The LW logos on the wheels are just blacked out with a permanent marker, you can then easily rub this off with thinners if you need to go back to white. It would be easy to remove these just with some very fine sand paper or rubbing compound, but I am reluctant to do this as they are under warranty and although I have had great customer service in the past from LW, I am sure they could say removing the decals invalidates the warranty.....
Michel2 - I have had this set up for a couple of years now and like i say it works perfectly - I don't really understand what you mean as its the levers that are dictating the pull ratio isn't it (could be opening up a can of worms here)?? The mech just moves freely?
