Thanks [MENTION=10408]gc3[/MENTION]. Still a couple things I would like to do, but it would involve a very high $-weight ratio for no performance gain what so ever. I think I will just save for a while and keep looking for my Evo frameset.
What do you think...keep Logo's on or take off? |

Debadge the Enves. Just my vote for the $0.00 that it's worth.

My taste? I've never liked the looks of those logos, and to be honest I think they detract from the rest of your build. You know they're Enve wheels, so it doesn't matter if everyone else does. Take 'em off and/or replace them with some blacked-out decals, would be my vote.

Curious as to how to do that. Heat the decals with a hair dryer and scrape? Would something like Goo-Gone hurt the carbon fiber?

i second this question as I ordered ghost decals for my wheels so I'll be needing to take them off without messing it up. I assume you can just carefully pull them off and clean the surface with something to remove any residue left from the old sticker? Question is what to use.

I'll be posting a thread of a lot of detailed picts with all my current upgrades.
Upgrades consist of: Dura Ace 7900 Rear Derailleur Dura Ace 7900 Shifters Alligator Ilink cables (HUGE thanks goes out to @primov8 for sending them to me) Dura Ace 7900 11-28 Cassette Lizardskins 1.8 race tape (LOVE LOVE LOVE this tape!) Ritchey Logic Curve UD carbon bars (I REALLY like the new shape coming from the Ergo Superlogic bars I had. 1 thing I will have to get used to is the non over-sized top bar that the Logic curve bars lack that the superlogic bars had.) http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/IMG_5163.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/IMG_5215.jpg |

Hot as always [MENTION=196850]bianchi10[/MENTION].
I'm also taking the logo off of my wheels, only mine are under the clear coat. It's funny to read about concerns with goo gone on carbon rims when I'm taking a sander to mind. Pictures soon! |
Looks good, Bianchi10!
Either no logo's, or leave the ones you have on. I don't think the blacked out ones would be the look you're after. |

In the same video they recommend using acetone to clean the rim. I think using goo-gone would be fine, but you'd want to make sure to really clean it off with isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Wouldn't want any remnants left on the wheel (or if it really got everywhere...foul your brake pads) |
Bianchi10 (… hmm, why is your name bianchi on a C'dale? But I digress) I'd also vote to debadge the wheels. Just take a look back at the last few pages. Debadged carbon wheels look good and on your black and white bike, they'd look even better! Plus, less logos is always a good thing, isn't it? (You already know all this, we're just pushing you over the edge hopefully)

Thanks guys. Still not sure if I want yo take them off.
Bianchi10 - because my first bike was a bianchi via nirone. Thought picking a name with the bike I ride would be neeeeto. After selling that and getting my Ridley, I saw how stupid that was. People know me by bianchi10 now so I might as well keep it. |

Just heat up the decals a little with a blow dryer before trying to peel them off carbon....

Not if you use a carbon hair dryer - then it's fine.
