Removing these decals
Moderator: robbosmans
Hi Guys,
Iv got a Deda stem, seat post and Handlebars and I'm happy with the stem but the seat post has a ridiculously long logo on it, and as I don't have a huge amount of seat post showing its half covered up!! Also on the post and handlebars they are red which doesn't match into the bike at all.
So how do I remove them and will there be any sign that it was there left over after?
There's a pic for reference
Thanks in advance.

That looks under the paint to me right? If it is the way I would do it is wet sand it off (so its even as it goes through the clear coat/decal) then re clear coat the post.

I'm not sure it is, the letters are very pronounced but tbh I wouldn't really know, the post doesn't look like there's a clear coat on there at all to me, but I'm not sure.
Is there a way I could try? Or perhaps someone who knows about these things has a deda set like this and could tell me

Yes if on top of the clear coat easy, a little heat and your fingernails. If clear coat is sealing them about the only way is abrasives and then you would need to re-clear. Thant's ok if you are familiar with that type of process

Hi all,
Yes iv had the post out of the frame and tried it on the letters below the clamp line, nail polish remover didn't do much but heat worked! So the decals are definitely on top, took a while just to do one though so I'll be at this a while!!

Almost anything expands when it's heated. I wouldn't worry about the shifters because they're a long way away and the bars won't conduct heat very well. I doubt if it's even needed, but why not loosen the stem clamp bolts a bit before you do it, then tighten them again to spec once you are done....
