I used a hairdryer on its hottest setting and peeled the strips back slowly taking the majority of the adhesive with it. Then any adhesive that was left I removed with either tar remover or t-cut, rubbing it off with a polishing cloth. It is a ball ache and does help if its warm outside.

Try something like GT85 or TF2 spray lubricant or better still, disc brake cleaner. They all work in the mountain bike industry and don't damage bike paint! It'd say TF2 would be better as it has teflon in it, so wouldn't be abrasive.

i looked a right prick doing mine  but the hairdryer was the best way IMO, it takes alot of time to warm it up and pick away at it, but once its done 
then all i had left behind was a think film of the glue which eventually came off with auto glym tar remover
