NGUTF Posted April 25, 2015 Share The Doc, out of curiosity, I'm trying marathon for the first time. When I mix it, it seems like the powder takes forever to dissolve! Is this normal? It also seems to foam helluva lot, more so when compared to the carbo fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having the same issue with the carbofuel lately so now i just chuck in the blender and 10 secs later its fully dissolved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1429984567.160023.jpgHi AngelourKing, Naturally we are quite shocked to see that. It is obviously difficult to say where in the chain this little Christmas beetle got under the lid of your Marathon as it may happen in store or the warehouse as well. We will take it up with our chain from manufacturing to store level to reduce the risk of a recurrence. Glad to see it's not under the safety seal though! With regards to the mixing and having some sediment. Both Marathon and CarboFuel will need to be mixed vigorously to dissolve the maltodextrin. In Marathon, the addition of the protein may make this more difficult. This is a standard situation with any maltodextrin. If you give it a few minutes and then shake the bottle it will dissolve.

Oomkool Posted June 7, 2015 Share I could be wrong but that looks like Cadence on the table in front of Johan Potgieter at Fort William World Cup DH yesterday. Looks like Pottie' s saying "Look mate, it's my Cadence...go get your own". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Pottie' s saying "Look mate, it's my Cadence...go get your own". So right you are. Maybe he got some from our athlete, Andrew Neethling. Then again...maybe he got his own. Thanks for the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebee Posted June 26, 2015 Share Where in Durban can I find these products? Been to a few lbs and haven't seen in on the shelves. Does dischem still carry the brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veebee Posted July 4, 2015 Share used the carbofuel this morning on a 2 hour / 45km ride, good sustainable energy throughout and I didn't feel flat at all. But cant say I'm a fan of the natural citrus flavour. Will probable give the Marathon a go tomorrow. Have that in passion fruit so hope the taste is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some like the zing, some like it sweet. We cater to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted July 30, 2015 Share Strangely enough, Red Berry CF works for me, but I tend to like Marathon in natural Citrus. And on the other side of the sweetness spectrum, the Passion Fruit Marathon isn't half bad either! However, Cream Soda, which was super delicious in the "old" Classic Energy, did not translate well when they made it in Marathon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squier Posted July 30, 2015 Share I have to say that I enjoy the new natural citrus. The less sweet taste really works well on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTJ Posted July 30, 2015 Share I have used their gels during some of my races and they are excellent.. better than the other shite you get. Bankie99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
