It's like very course grit lapping compound and it is very messy as one will find out when for some strange reason the chain gets jammed.........as happened to me at the start of the week. Very messy.
Extra wipes and a pair of thin work gloves have now been added to the saddle baggie. If that "stuff" gets on a light coloured jersey ... oh dear.
