Usually decals, or etched sometimes.

Decals, transfers or etching.

Pad printed (Shimano XT, KLEIN, SYNCROS) or photo-etched (Ringle) and so on ...

Early high-end components where chemically etched then laser etching became the #1 go to. Typically chain rings were milled logos where structural failure was rarely an issue. Stems, bars, and seatposts NEVER (at least from companies that knew their head from their ass)!

 

[fguki]

That was simply because of the thin wall thickness of stems and seat posts. Cranks were milled, too ...pretty hard on a .9 millimeters Syncros tianium :-D

Cheers never knew that was the case I always thought if they were chemically etced or lasered they would not be smooth there would be an indentation that's why I thought they were printed answers the question why most people go with decals thanks for info guys
