Removing Rim Tape

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Hey all,

I bought a new bike and a previous owner has put rim tape on it (and not very well) which I don't like and wanna get it off.


Has anyone got any tricks of the trade to get it off? 'Cos it sticks like buggery.


Thanks


(I tried searching but couldn't find anything...)

Wurth do a product-"Industry clean" and their sister company RECA(who I work for )do Topclean which both remove adhesives/residues, (they will remove duct tape residue in 20 seconds.)
There both normally only supplied to trade but if you know any mechanics they might deal with Wurth Automotive and could get you a tin.

Try the good old method WD40 works a treat or cheap furniture polish, the cheaper the better (it’s the solvents that is used that breaks down the glue), plus leaves a thin film of wax on rims, much easier to clean.

Peel it off, using a hair dryer to melt the adhesive if needed. Then a hairdryer and/or gaffa tape to get the rest of the adhesive off.

White spirit does a sterling job of cleaning any sort of gummy residue from your wheel/swingarm/chain/bodywork. If you have a trigger spray, combine it with car shampoo. Combine with a soft toothbrush and you're done.
