I didn't think...
 

[Closed] I didn't think I'd say it but de-stickered rims look great!

Had a few scuffs in my Flow stickers so thought I'd taken them off to get replacements but I don't think I'll bother. Looks much better without..

Keep your eye on that fence, looks like it needs some Ronseal or summink.

Stickers are best kept for kids to fight over in the playground so they can complete their panini album , all my bikes,components and forks are de-stickered.

Hi everyone……..My name is somafunk and i have an irrational hatred of stickers and logos…..phew!….. that wasn't as hard as i thought it was going to be.

The only thing ruining those wheels now, are the mega logos on the tyres! why is it that manufacturers use paying customers as advertising bill boards, it's as if they think every weekend warrior, is deluded enough to think they are shredding the gnar in some pro race or something, this couldn't be could it ?, another hater of logos, bike is stealth black and de stickered.

Are they 20" wheels...they look really small.

But, i do like the fence.
It has a colonial Wild West fort look to it.

I'd never de-sticker my rims they say "Spank",

Everyone likes a spank.

My stickers are saved for the tool box and the Singlespeed..
I de-stickered my Flows after the advertising started looking a bit tatty and agree they look much better without.

Ardent up front and high roller at the rear?

I'd switch them. Stickers make no difference but this might.

I've only got the HR2 on the back til pay day then I can get another Ardent or Crossmark. They do work well together though..
The mudguard is a bit low but it works ok (it's mounted on the bottle cage bosses)
