How to get the sticky residue off of a wheel rim after removing the decals?

Thanks

Roll it off with your thumbs - good exercise

iso-propyl alcohol. Good for cleaning most things on a bike. Universal solvent, innit.

Am doing this shortly and was going to use boiling water to remove stickers then WD40 to remove residue, not tried it yet but used to have a job years ago and part of it was removing other companies stickers and replacing with own companies , WD40 was what I used.

Gotta cheer yourself up somehow I suppose, did you go for rose or vermillion?

You can buy citrus based label remover, we use it at work, brilliant stuff, and it`s gentle. We buy it from CPC or RS usually

I've got good results with white spirit.

unfortunately i can't remember if they all do it or if only some of them do but just be careful with solvents and even certain oils and think as they will damage/eat rubber and/or paint so i would possibly go as for as romoving ture, tube and even rim tape

i find wd40 like stuff or white spirit works ok, but i happen to have 5l of methylated spirits and my bro also has a further 5l so they removes it just fine
