I've got some black Omniums and I'm wondering if it's possible to remove the horrible decals on them? They would be much nicer cranks if they were just plain black!

Chur!!

Max.

Magic marker? Might be the easiest/least painful

Heat them with a hot air gun and they should come off quite easily...

Hot air gun sounds slightly dodgy...! Hmm..

I'm not quite a Kiwi, but I have been here for waaaaaaay too long not to talk like one!

Sweet as!

A hot air gun will usually free up decals... Not a blowtorch, a hot air gun

I've seen omniums without the decal before but maybe they were powdercoated? I'll test to see if it can be sanded off..

Don't sand it! That will probably take the black off.

It's engraved and then filled with a little white paint or something. Just fill in the engraving with black paint pen.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
