removing decals?
 
how many of you guys remove decals from your deep dish wheels (or regular wheels if the decals aer easily removable). im thinking of taking the all the decals off of my reynold strikes except the ones right above my stem, cuz that one is not as showy as the other decals (i no im one of the few modest people on the bf)

About to do just that when my new wheelset arrives in the mail.

I am building bike with a Black and Orange color scheme and the wheels I bought have red and white decals. Those are coming right off.
Would be cool if I could lay a really thin orange pinstripe decal around the rim (black) but I don't think they make those.

I wouldn't do it myself. I like the look of rotating decals.

Cavendish on the otherhand prefers all-black

I remove as many decals/stickers as I can. My wheels now ave no text on them at all.

hey does removing decals void the warranty? (i know a dumb question but with all the things that void warranties i wouldnt be surprised if this did haha)

The decals off my Forte Titan were really easy to remove. After removing them I gave them a good clean with a bit of goo gone to make sure there wasn't any sticker residue.
