How do you feel about a bike shop putting their sticker on your bike?

[Nuffy]

If you take your bike or suspension product for a service, how do you feel about the shop putting their sticker on it when they’re done?

[Steady Spin]

NO! 

[Delta Bikes]

To me it would depend on the type of sticker

Some are easy to remove and leave no marks, so no problem whatsoever, to me at least

Others tend to leave residue and are just a pain, wouldn’t go back to them to be honest

[TheoG]

In general I agree, just NO.  If it fit in with the color scheme of the bike and/or suspension, maybe, but ask me first before you put crap on my bike.

In the old days the stickers would sometimes be useful like a chain stay protector or a gel sticker that could reduce cable rub. 

But i don't think i would want any stickers that were not original rather stay with the minimal clean look.

If I want a sticker on my bike, I will put it there. If a shop wants to put a sticker on my bike, they can ask first. Most probably my answer will be no.

I’ll leave it on for about 5000km's and invoice them at  R3 a km in marketing fees.

Will I allow a bumper sticker on my car/SUV? No. 

Same with my bike. 

If it is functional to the prevent rubbing, ask first.

I think I know which shop it was that made you start this poll. Somewhere in Pta East?

[Rolf Hansen]

On my Silverback it had a sticker when I bought it. I removed it once I got home. After the first free service they put one on again. I just removed it again. No big deal.

I don't mind a small sticker saying serviced by on x date and the dates it should be done again. However it drives me nuts if you think i am your advertising hoarding.

[DIPSLICK]

Hell NO

MY BIKES MY BABIES

my bike shops (multiple) know me, they all  KNOW MY BIKES

KNOW if my bikes come in where are the skuff marks and and keep it that way 

 

my guys at my work even know if they wash my bikes and  if there is a new mark, call me and run it past me

 

even my 12 year old cycling partner (daughter) knows,

fall and the bike gets scratched not the end of the world,, scratch it because u not paying attention BEEG PROBLEM

 

my LBS X3 all know that **** just won’t fly

and I love them all for knowing that

Definite no no.

Same with cars, we tell them upfront no marketing or stickers .... when we collect and the sticker or license plate has their logo on it, they remove it before we take the car.
