Here's the scoop....I searched Slowtwitch because I saw it on there a while ago and here's the deal. IT CAN'T BE DONE. The logos are baked in the carbon to form to the dimples (if you have a dimpled wheel). If no dimples, still out of luck. They are under the laminate.

I feel a bit slighted by this, I have a 606 set and the rear decals are larger than a billboard. I think Zipp should pay for advertizing.

Bummer. I just called the guys at ZIPP and the decals are baked in. Not much i can do.
Ive never been much of a color, logo type of guy and have been thinking about doing some painting. I sanded the clear coat and logos off of my aerobars and base bar and gave them a nice coat of matt black and have been considering doing the same to my bike frame. I wouldnt think painting the ZIPPS would be a good idea but does anyone have any ideas or seen anything work?

I can't imagine ever taking sand paper to my dear bike. Consider the special paint and sealers made just for bikes. If it begins to rust, then no one is to blaim.
Who needs a man when you have a Kuota Kalibur to wrap your legs around.

Its a really light sanding. I use 220 paper and sand it just light enough to take the shine out of the clear coat. Helps the new paint stick

Might make it harder to resell. I did this to our family piano when I was young. Now I always hesitate to remove labels.

Anyone know how i can get the decals off of my ZIPPS
