This has probably been asked before
Does anyone have an ideas what to use to remove the yellow mavic decals off there cosmic carbon rims.

    i just took them off mine

    on the front wheel they peeled off really easily, it was just a matter of getting one end started and gauging the pull to avoid snapping

    on the rear wheel only one was easy, the rest were stuck too firmly so i ended up mostly scraping them off with my thumbnail, this leaves the glue behind, a solvent wipe will remove it

    i've seen someone say they used a hairdryer to do it, maybe it looens the glue a bit, might be worth a try if yours are the super-sticky type
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    cheers
    thought they was under the laquer but they have come off easy. a few seconds with the hair dryer did the trick
