I have used Whasp in the past but now I use Hammer.Check on  the Hammer site(http://hammernutrition.co.za) ---- they sell a "26 serving Jug". You buy a flask (takes 6 sachets gel) and it works ot R 9.23 a serving ---Price of a sachet is R 15. The flask is also easy to open when you ride and no littering as well.

 

Can't you copy them with this idea ?????THAT WILL MAKE THE PRICE OF A SERVING EVEN LES THAN R 11.99---I think about R 7 a serving.I BET YOU WILL TAKE 75% of the market

 

PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Big%20smileBig%20smileBig%20smileBig%20smileBig%20smileBig%20smileBig%20smileBig%20smileBig%20smileBig%20smile

From the deal you put up I understand the deal is that you MUST buy a box of gels to be able to get free box of gels and to be able to buy a shirt. This is a bit of a bummer as I am not doing the 94.7. I am in <?: prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Western Cape.

Why limit the shirts to 50. The special on the gels can be limited as that is money you give away, but I do not understand why you want to limit the shirts when people are willing to buy the shirts. If a guy want's to buy the shirt let them be. Even if that end up at 76 shirts.. it. is 26 more shirts that is in people's faces and u might even be able to bring down total cost of shirts with bigger order placed.

Yes I have seen those at my LBS and I must say that is very tempting to rather buy a Jug and use as you need to. the cost saving is huge especially if you also use it during long training rides regularly and not only in a race. For a race I will still prefer the sachets. but for training rides I would seriously rather consider buying bulk gel and use as I want.

hi Collin

I use GU gels for the following reasons:

-I buy all my supplements from Pace&Power and GU tastes the best of all   the gels Megan stocks there

-I use it for cycling too but mainly during enduro motorbike races, it's small and i can fit a few into the hip pockets of my bugbag.

-It's not too sweet, you work hard during a enduro race and shoving a sweet sticky substance into your mouth while you're struggling to breathe is not fun.

-It's thick enough not too spill while trying to take one with your helmet on.

 

I have not tried Whasp and to be honest never heard of it before joining The Hub.

 

Will keep a eye out for it and give it a go(maybe get hold of megan to stock some at Pace & Power)

Why would you prefer the sachets on a race ?  Have you tried using a flask before ?

Well I dont know about you but I must admit when you going in a really fast bunch it is easier for me to use only one hand with a sachet. Believe me it can get hectic in a fast bunch.

With how many hands do you want to open the flask and how can you you give your opinion if you do not know what you talking about ? And do you really think you are the only rider that has ever been in a fast bunch ?
