Raceface Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 okay...so its all in the title. What is the best way to remove the argus sticker glue still sitting on my carbon stem and handlebars?? If there has been a previous thread on this a link would be great, can't find it with search. cool
Mongoose! Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 What I do is I stick isolation tape on the place (stem or bar)(BEFORE) I stick those stickers Isolation tape peels off easily with that sticky Argus sticker sticked to it... Try it next year. Now you can use deodorant and a soft cloth. There nothing so ugly to me that a half peeled off Argust sticker on a stem or bar
djvr Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Was wondering myself how to remove this sticky sticker
TNT1 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 WTF is "isolation" tape? Just buy more tape, put all your new tape in the packet with the isolated tape, and viola, your tape's problems are over.
TNT1 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Oh, to remove the glue residue, use acetone. If you doubt me, pm, johan boringman.

If there has been a previous thread on this a link would be great, can't find it with search. cool I would avoid using any stickers on your bike.Most glues are chlorine based and that is not a friendly chemicalMasking tape is the worst

Same as the tape at the end of your bar tape next to the stem
The Drongo Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Oh, to remove the glue residue, use acetone. If you doubt me, pm, johan boringman. NO, No, No!!! Ambush! No Acetone! >>> CARBON, RESIN, CLEARCOAT!!! Dude, just use a bit of hand cream and a soft cloth, and a dash of elbow grease. Put that acetone away. If you use ANY chemical on your bike it should be IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and nothing else.

TNT1 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Same as the tape at the end of your bar tape next to the stem WTF? I wrap me bars from the stem outwards. there's no tape - other than handlebar tape - anywhere.
TNT1 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) NO, No, No!!! Ambush! No Acetone! >>> CARBON, RESIN, CLEARCOAT!!! Dude, just use a bit of hand cream and a soft cloth, and a dash of elbow grease. Put that acetone away. If you use ANY chemical on your bike it should be IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and nothing else. Seriously, JB soaked a carbon fibre fishing pole in acetone for like a month. And then went and caught jaws with it. (oh, and the hand cream, and the cloth, it's glue, not personal, one man sexy-time...) Edited April 27, 2011 by TNT1
TNT1 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 I thought the ARGUS was in MARCH, not ARGUST? Dude, when the tape is isolated, it's Argust time!
DMD 1 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Spray some "doom" or any kind of insect killing spray on it. Leave it for anout 1 minute. This awlays does the trick on store labels / stickers. Not sure of the effect on the carbon???? Use it or loose it!
Rodders Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Only getting back on the bike a month and 3 weeks later, nice Try Mr Min!
Mongoose! Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Dude, when the tape is isolated, it's Argust time! Damm you good another round to you Will take you on again next Agust Augustus
