Has anyone removed frame pucks? Were you able to remove the residual adhesive without marking the frame? If so what did you use to remove the adhesive?

WD-40 works wonders for removing adhesives without harming the finish.

Goo Gone would probably do a good job I bet.

Try ppg oil and prep cleaner, or maybe a mild mineral spirit

I just used a blow torch and melted mine off.


Rubbing alcohol only!!!! Start by pouring it under the lip of the puck then use a plastic picnic knife to get up under the edge of the puck and apply pressure, add more alcohol as you can.

Bring your bike to Mississippi. Leave it parked out in the sun on a really hot, humid day. Do this for a couple days straight and they will pull away from the frame in no time.

The instructions said use alcohol. Do not use Goof-Off or any other solvent as it may harm the paint.

Why would you want to take them off?

I found this usefull, as I'm going to be removing mine as well.

Toona - removing mine to replace, as one of mine is scuffed. But maybe he bought the CF Frame Protectors

I used rubbing alcohol. Perfect. Let it soak in, and pull them off.

Parts guy suggested heat gun and fishing line... said I'd lose some paint. Brilliant. Why have pucks at all?

Your suggestions sound much gentler. Thanks.
