Hi all, can anyone give me an easy way to remove the tatty fox stickers of my forks? and how easy is it to get replacement decals.

Cheers for you help

Jay

Warming them with a hairdryer softens the adhesive and they should peel off in one piece if you're gentle.
Don't know about replacements........

Isopropyl alcohol is usually good for removing gunky sticker residue too.

Then use contact cleaner to clean b4 applying the new ones, get them from mojo about £10

Where do you get Isopropyl alcohol from? I had some a while back that a friend got me from his rapid prototyping job, it's really useful.

I got some from the pharmacists a while back but (call me paranoid) I did feel like the bloke didn't believe I was going to "clean my bike brake discs with it" rather I was going to swig it! Also he didn't have much - not sure if it's something they get much call for.

I got more from eBay more recently, there's loads on there - much less aftertaste to that stuff too. JOKE! 😀

just use vodka to get the sticky stuff off, it does the trick and you don't have to use (waste!) too much 😆

CD / DVD lens cleaner kits use isopropyl, check the label first though to make sure....
