  2. Hair Dryer... and finger nails.

    If the glue won't come off... good luck. I use "Goo Gone"

  3. Peel the tape back a little and spray WD40 or lighter fluid under it to
    help disolve the adhesive. Both of these chemicals have an oil base and
    won't damage the painted surface.

  4. Woot! cranks successfully degriptaped!

    I put my hairdryer on hot/high, and had it heat up each crank for about
    10 minutes until the entire crank was very hot to the touch. then I
    simply peeled off the griptape! yay!

  5. Cool, that's good tp hear. I put griptape on my trial's cranks, and
    although they don't seem to help that much they don't bother me either,
    so...

    slip to the pedals.

    You must have some super grip tape or something...I have griptape on my
    cranks and it just helps me not accidentally slide off, I land on the
    cranks and fudge my landings all the time.

    Yeah me too, with mine I can still slide my feet right from the cranks
    to the pedals and ride away all in one move..

  10. thats what happens with shortys black magic griptape. the gripiest ever.
    I love it for skateboards, but AI didn't keep in mind that for
    unicycling you want to have a little bit of sliding ability.

  13. You should be able to move your feet with any grip tape. When you
    skateboard you are still easily able to slide your foot off the board
    to make it flip, it doesn't stick to you.

  14. my griptape on my board is all dirty and old though, thus not very
    grippy.

    the griptape on myc ranks didn't ever get very dirty or anything, and
    wasn't super heavily used, so maybe thats why.
