Luke Drewery Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have a set of silver lite guy forks and fancy stripping the stickers off so they are just plain silver, how do i go about doing this? I have tried it but they dont seem to have any edges so i cant peel them off, how have people done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 You have to strip the forks completely - the graphics are lacquered over. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Ok how do i go about doing that? What do i need to use? Cheers for the reply though, i would have got nowhere the way i was trying to get them off! :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Head down B&Q and get yourself some Nitromors, then just follow the instructions on the tin. You'll have to re-lacquer the forks afterwards or they'll go all manky. In short - its probably easier to just leave the stickers on, or put some new ones over them if you're really that bothered!

Simpson Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yea. Will this be the same on my saracen? i really like the red but i wanted to replace the saracen with Simpson on 1 side or something is this really possible without stripping?

JT! Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I wanted to do the same thing. But i came to the same conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Onza and saracen are idiots, they laquer over their stickers so that you cant get them off. This means that their name is always on show, which is a shame because most of their newer parts are brilliant but you just dont want that ugly onza writting in your face. (I'm not having a go at them I ride a T-rex with onza stem, pedals and rims). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
