Anywhere to buy stickers for the fork on a road bike?
Had a total FAIL today where I propped up my road bike on a knee-high concrete wall after a ride. The bike slipped, and next thing I know, there are scratches from where the concrete rubbed the fork on the way down.
Lesson learned: don't let your nice, shiny bike near anything sharp & hard where it might slip down!
So on that note, anybody know where I can buy stickers to cover up these unslightly scars on my fork?

You Know!? For Kids!
Are you replacing the original stickers? Be careful as they may be load bearing decals.

Replace them with duct tape. Trust me, It has the load bearing properties as the stickers.

you might get more/better feedback if we knew the make/model/year of this 'road bike'. you'll get extra points if you post some pics of the bike and damage.

ignore catty posters. i appreciate a good paint job too. if the scratches are just on the clear coat, use a scratch remover grade car wax and lightly buff the scratches so they are smooth and clean. next just use and automotive clear coat paint pen to fill in the scratches. ta dah!! no more scratches. well, they will look better. otherwise, if you must have stickers, just ask the lbs guys in your neighborhood. they always have stuff lying around they will just give you for free!
