DuncanCT Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Just out of interest how many Hubbers use Fast Fuel products?
Wannabe Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Used to. Was quite happy with it. Affordable.Using 32GI now.
b-rad Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 On my last few grains of Fast Fuel- Sports Fuel and have been struggling to find stock anywhere. Apparently they are not producing anymore?? Now have to find a new product- got a sachet of 32GI to try...really liked the fast fuel though!!
ThaStig Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I've used it for the past few years. I spoke to the lady at their JHB office on Friday and according to her they are shutting the brand down but they are clearing their stock at hugely discounted prices. Only problem is that the bars expire in June and I am not sure what the exp date of the rest of the goods are. I will be stocking up on plenty of Rocket gels and hoping that they last until well into next season. The other gels on the market don't come close wrt price and effectiveness.
Rapunzel Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I'm using it after my stock of dridex dried up (that home-made brew of fructose, maltodextrin and salt). Works fine for me and is good value for money.
Weight Weenie Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Dammit I loved the fruit bars, R10 for a 70g bar

I tried their number before Argus but no reply!!! thanks
ThaStig Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 The Number is 011-614 6631 and the holding company is Hersol.
Weight Weenie Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 32Gi isn't for everyone, though people seem to assume so. Tastes like kool-aid to me
DuncanCT Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Has anyone found a similar product to replace there energy bars.
chris_w_65 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 The Biogen energy bars appear to be nice/easy to eat but I only had one bite from someone.
Weight Weenie Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Duncan Safari makes a fruit bar - both date/apricot or a Berry one. Half the size but about R5 each, very similiar I buy boxes of 25 at the supermarket, eat them all hte time for riding or snacking
Jaco-fiets Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) 32GI is a different aproach to re fueling lo GI style. If you're not into that you can pretty much use any simple carb drink and it will do the job. For my training rides less than 3 hrs i just use USN carbo sport. Its a mix of complex and simple carbs, costs only about R85 or something from cyclelab and the tub lasts forever (now you no how much i dont train ) Edited April 3, 2011 by Jaco-fiets
