My guess is that company pays organiser to be at a prime spot, part of the package they pay for is photos with their branding plastered everywhere and to ensure maximum exposure all photos from this prime position are available FOC.

Frosty Posted November 24, 2022 Share Not sure for 947, but Action Photo don’t charge, and don’t get charged, to be at the events; at least not when they have taken photos at the old Carnical City Macsteel evens. They make they money from the sale of photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieterlab1 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Guys this might be a bit off topic but I need help to remove that $@^%#^$ route sticker from my carbon frame! I usually first stick insulation tape on the frame and then the sticker, but I forgot and thought it would be okay, but I cannot get if off and I don't want to damage the frame. Any advice?

Scratched the most off, washed the bike (soaking) and removed the last bit of stickiness on my handlebar with turpentine (turps).

The Ouzo Posted November 24, 2022 Share why are you sticking route stickers to your bikes ? I dont think I've ever done that. But even the action photo sticker, I never bothered to put one on my helmet, and for the one on the bike I made a little board that I cable tied to my bars.

Nico van Loggerenberg Posted November 24, 2022 Share I've found Clean Green to be great at that residue. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan A Marais Posted November 24, 2022 Share I use good old Doom - put it on (once you pulled of the top layer), let it be for a while, and just vibe it off - it's like magic 😇 TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that was the only useful thing we got in the race pack, so I might just as well use it. ChrisF and The Ouzo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful tip for a next time... First stick a strip of that clear packaging tape on the frame, then stick the elevation sticker or whatever else on top of the clear tape. When it's time to remove, just peel of the clear tape, it leaves virtually no sticky residue. Pieterlab1, TheoG and Fork-it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot water and soap should be enough. Don’t use anything abrasive. Wipe the sticker multiple times as the paper will slowly dissolve. Then it’s the glue residue that needs to be removed. Meths, Surgical Spirits or similar product that evaporates quickly can be used sparingly to get rid of the residual glue. Pieterlab1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't bother with that infuriating sticker on my helmet, not worth the PIA to get it off after. JacoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
