Hi,

My bike came with a handful of bright yellow stickers warming me about this 'n' that, ironically the one warning me about various aspects of "carbon care" is resolutely stuck to my top tube. I'd swear it was painted on if i hadn't managed to lift the edges...

Any advice on removing it without risking the paint or carbon?

Thanks

Paul

    or label remover... if you take the top surface off (the ‘plasticky’ bit to leave the paper/ adhesive exposed the remover with penetrate and allow it to come off without scraping.
