  1. We are the biggest growing gel and i work on distribution all day everyday. We currently about 25% of gel sales in SA from what we can work out based on numbers but i want o get bigger...better... The shops say that when people ask for it then they will stock it...age old problem
  2. I want to get it right...but everybody also needs to remember that everything costs money, i have put R2mil into this brand already and everything i do i have done for you guys, the cycling community and listened to you all 2 years ago when i started... If i get the support i can do more, but its hard when the support isnt there...I love to spend money on helping others, but got to have the money to spend first
  3. Thanks Le Tour, not a bad idea...will put some thought into that
  4. https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=33346&KW=whasp Here is link for my protein shakes and energy drink...Would you guys me rather put a pack together say valued at R950 for R500, for energy drink, box of gels and cycling shirt ??
  5. Remember my protein gel will retail for R18 as you wont use it for every gel, you will use it for every 3rd or 4th gel depending on the distance, i was talking R12 for normal gels, the protein gel will be on special at R15 at expo
  6. Dam , there is really no pleasing you guys, i'm trying my best here... you can come get a normal box for free if you like, if you were on the list who are receiving protein gel from deal we had... I'm on your side remember...
  7. Go see www.peptopro.com for info Give me till tonight to set things up...
  8. Nite Rider, if you want to take over website, get in touch with me, if your price is good i am happy to work with you...
  9. What about if we did something for HUBBERS at 94.7 expo. You buy 1 gel and i give you one for free ?? Gels will be R12 so you get 2 for that ?? I would send you an email address to send a email to and if your name is on the list you can buy one get one free at 94.7, up to 10 gels, so 20 gels for R120 ? That way i can also see if that kind of thing worked ? I would also be happy to look at doing cycling shirts for the first 50 people at R250 a shirt, but cant go much cheaper than that as its just gone up in price again...its a super hot looking kit though
  10. Hey guys Thanks for all your advise and time taken to share your thoughts with me. I have tried getting into sportsmans warehouse and they said no..that they had enough stuff for now. Dischem sells out quicker than we can replace, and i work on keeping their stocks up personally every 2nd day, not the easiest to do. I am brining out a vanilla custard flavour now with pepto pro, the first proper protein gel in the world, with years of research around pepto pro. I was in dis-chem yesterday, price is R11.99
  11. I have study behinde ingredients. www.whaspgel.com is our website, we international, we sell in OZ, NZ, UK
  12. We are trying but its not that easy... We almost got it right to be in clicks soon, fingers crossed.. P.S we have given out about 100 000 gels in goodie bags in 2 years
  13. Im Not knocking GU, i think its a good product, im just striving to make mine better. Think of this. 3hr race, you take GU every 30min as per sachet with 450ml at R14 a gel. YOu need 6 gels which is R84 and you need 2700ml of water, you only carry 1500ml 3hr race on whasp, take every 45min with 300ml water at R12 a sachet You need 4 gels which is R48 and only 1200ml water , leaving you 300ml over When you start to look at it like this, maybe it starts to make sense. Thanks for your feedback so far, its interesting to see the misconceptions in the market place
  14. HI All fair comments, i want to point a few things out, i made is easier to take as GU and others are too think. Vooma sells for R8 a gel but if you look at the carbs per serving i think its around 9g as the values they put on are per 100g, we have 25g per serving and sell for R11.99 at Dischem. so actually getting 3 x the cars for R4 more. Thats also the price point, we only R11.99 in dischem and everybody else is more expensive than us and will be going up a lot more, GU is soon going to be R 18. The green gel which has the worst taste is because of the ingredients and is our best selling gel as it kicks you into hyper drive, its got 100mg caffeine, which is double that of a redbull and 4 times of the expresso love GU, its a real piece of work that gel. We dont have HONEY, we have Propolis and it cant give you a upset tummy, impossible, so he might of reacted to something else or taken it wrong or been dehydrated or something, he should try it a few times and if he had the same result 5 times i could look at it. We also a 50g sachets where GU is 32g so you getting a lot more gel for less money meaning you can take it at longer intervals, plus we have more glycerine which means you need less water as its already a bit mixed so you dont need 450ml of water with every GU
  15. We do tons of marketing and advertising...Im not talking about USN as a brand... What do they do for their gel ? what does other gel companies do ?
  16. My name is Collin Allin and i started and own Whasp energy gel. I have put in over R2mil into the brand, i sponsor over 100 athletes, i sponsor training camps, school events, golf days, races. We advertise in Magazines, we have been at every big cycling expo for over 2 years incl comrades this year. We advertisie on blogs, websites and forums like this one We are a bigger gel with more ingredients in for the same price as other gels. So my question is what do i have to do to increase my sales ? let me know you use other gels or why you don't use mine. I am launching a pepto pro protein energy gel next week, new flavour too, Vanilla Custard and i have nothing to compete against in the market as we are unique but does anybody care ? Your time is appreciated. Many Thanks Pornstar2008-10-29 10:08:59

  19. He is riding a walser, its a swedish bike, remember the black TT "Bianchi" that Ullrich rode in bianchi team colours that year, same bike...
  20. That sucks, i have had a custom TT bar sitting at airport for 1 week and the postal service / sars / customs cant tell me why..im going over there tomorrow to kick some serious ass...
  21. Ive switched to riding on whasp or any other gel and water only..feel much better for is, maybe take some magnesium and multi vit before riding too.. Then protein afterwards with some mojo
  22. Hi Whasp Energy gel are about to launch a new energy gel - protein gel, they are using the pepto pro as well...in vanilla custard flavour...
