    They'll just be replacement decals. Go on eBay and you can order them for most wheels in almost any colour you want

    I notice you upgraded your cranks, I'm in the market for the same on my venge but not sure of the technicalities in doing it. Are they easy to remove, any specialist tools required ?

    Hi I have the same wheels and was wondering how did you go about changing the decals on them

    I have just done this on my Venge. I was originally running 11 speed Ultegra with the original PF30 bottom bracket using Wheels Manufacturing spacers. Eventually the bottom bracket collapsed, so decided to install an FSA adaptor and outboard Ultegra bearings.
    This is not possible as FSA do not make an adaptor to fit a Venge. As I discovered FSA make adaptors for PF30 and BB30 conversion and both are the correct diameter 40 and 46 mm, but they are all 68 mm wide for a road bike.
    The Venge is unique in that the bottom bracket is 62mm wide.
    The only way to fit a Shimano crank set up is to fit a specific Praxis OSB adaptor and for the Venge it is coded 'Specialized'
    This means it comes with two plastic adaptors that fit into the bottom bracket and make up the difference between the 62 mm botton bracket width and the 68mm crank.
    Having now done a couple of hundred miles on my new set up it works perfectly and is very smooth.
    Hope this helps

    I got the same bike but i must say that black / red sachem you have got looks so much better! :shock:
    I use mine for some Tempo races, so i got some Tempo bars that i can put on for that :wink: Though i mostly use it for 100-250 K rides. Really love the bike and how it is to ride! best bike i have tried!
