Wow! My best purchase in a long time. My rims are now looking as good as
new.
No bits!
Only thing is -- these things are expensive! Anyone know what they're made
out of?

Only thing is -- these things are expensive! Anyone know what they're made
out of?You probably paid over the odds for it. I would not pay more than a fiver for
them.£4.08 quid for Garryflex blocks here. I have seen the Mavic branded versions
being sold for over £20. -

interested in an alternative.What grade of these Garryflex would you suggest for cycle wheels?

Fine
Medium is coarser than the type used by Mavic.
Fine might be slightly finer but it seems similar.Oh and you may find it cheaper than Chronos if you enter

I looked more carefully. Before Mavic supplied their own brand they supplied
Klingspor "Sandflex Universal Cleaner" Nr 120. 120 grit is used in
Garryflex Medium. Again I am sorry if I misled anybody.Oh and when I accidentally pressed send in my previous message I was suggesting
you might find Garryflex blocks even cheaper if you type Garryflex into your
favourite search engine.I have never managed to find Klingspor blocks. (Lots of abrasives but not the
blocks).
