droo Posted November 18, 2008 Share I have been sitting here reading this Bull from the people who think they are better than the next because they can climb faster on a cheaper bike. I wish to be there the day that someone makes you(CW in particular) look stupid while going up a hill on a hypermarket special. The wheel turns and I hope you feel stupid when that Hypermarket special comes past you? When I was at school we used to ride with one of our groundsmen. He weighed about 100 and rode a 3 speed delivery bike, but he could quite happily drop most of us on a climb. If he was still around I'd be quite keen to see if CW could even hang onto his wheel... my guess is he'd probably come out looking a bit of a ****...

Plentipotential Posted November 18, 2008 Share Tried to bite my tongue, started to bleed, can't take the pain anymore. I'll tell you what sickens me. The amount of gel packets roadies throw away on the road as they finish eating the contents. And I say roadies because when I ride on MTB race routes I never see litter. Why not just return the empty packet to the pocket it came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly agree with returning the empty packet to the pocket from whence it came, but i have seen plenty of litter on trails at MTB events..

I make a point of asking them not to do it if I see them. Disgusting habit and absolutely no excuse they should be banned from racing for a certain time if caught.

The Saint Posted November 18, 2008 Share Why not make the stuff in a bio degradeable package - surely that would put this to rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJ Posted November 18, 2008 Share Why not make the stuff in a bio degradeable package - surely that would put this to rest? Good idea but not sure it would be durable enough. Maybe a resusable container or as Whasp are doing bring back 50 wrappers (or whatever it is) and get a free product. Kind of like a deposit.

The Saint Posted November 18, 2008 Share Actually I saw a guy on Sunday who takes his Gels and puts them into small squeeze bottle (looks like a mini water bottle)- very practicle and does away with the wrappers and sticky hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the answer, going to look around for some bottles, I hate getting my hands and gloves sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted November 18, 2008 Share And this site seems to be dying a slow death - browsing is fine but posting is dog slow again - tried 2 diff ISP's now and the same problem so it can't be from my side. On the bloody sat link now to see if things are any quicker but no such luck. Anyways yes Ian I am not sure where he got the bottles from but they were mini water bottles (about the length of a bomb just obviously wider) which held the 50 grams of Gel just perfect - he had 3 of these things in his pockets. Looked far easier to to suck the Gel out as well as safer and less messy - will take a look around myself for some and let you all know if I find.

I think that is the answer' date=' going to look around for some bottles, I hate getting my hands and gloves sticky.[/quote'] VOOMA used to sell a small bottle that looked like a mini water bottle. It could take four VOOMA's if I remember correctly. It was a bit sticky, at home to transfer the VOOMA's into the bottles but they really worked. VOOMA even sold their gel in a bottle at one stage so it could be transferred into the small bottles. The idea never really catched on and VOOMA is now made by USN.

I think that is the answer' date=' going to look around for some bottles, I hate getting my hands and gloves sticky.[/quote'] I bought this big bottle of Hammer gel, and a little squeeze bottle, into which i dispense the goo before the race. It works out cheaper, is easier to work with on the bike, and does not lead to litter or sticky hands and shirts. Saw them at the expo, but got mine at cycle lab.

The Saint Posted November 18, 2008 Share Thanks guys will look into it - Maybe somebody should get hold of Collin and give this to him as a marketing tip for his Whasp Gels. Promote better sales by looking after the environment should score him a few extra points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
