Power Bar gels/energy bars

Kentrider

Does anyone have a recommendation of somewhere to buy these at the best price? I've tried all the usual places-Wiggle, CRC etc and they all seem to be around the same price mark. Anyone got a secret gem of a website they can share with us all?

I got some from ProBikeKit. They were £1.13 per gel, which was the same price per gel as having to buy a box full. Also meant I could get different flavours. Just checked and they are out of stock but might be worth keeping an eye out fr when they are back in stock.

Mulebar where selling full boxes for £20 at the tour of britain last year, I will be going again this year with a small trailer and a wad of cash

Zipvit are awesome products. They may take a bit of getting used to. But they're the best products performance wise I've tried.

I buy bars from down at the local Tesco. They have quite a range of sports energy bars (not cereal bars) and they don't seem to be ridiculous prices. They also taste very good.

Try ebay too - if you keep searching you'll eventually find a retailer selling off stock as the sell by dates approach - I have picked up great bargains on SiS and Torq gels this way

+1. The yoghurt coated apricot ones are fab. Shame their energy drink tastes like sea water though.

That's actually what led to this query-I got a box of Power Bar gels from ebay for £15-use by date this October. I thought that I might not use all of them by then,. but am about to run out already (training for an Iron Man). However having paid £15 I'm relectant to pay £30 for the same thing-maybe I'm just being tight!!

I've tried ZipVit, but the gels taste as good as the energy drink!-so it might be back to trawling through ebay and buying a few gels at a time, which I know costs more in the long run, but somehow £5 a time on gels doesn't seem as hard to justify as £30 for a box!

I have been buying High5 gels on 3 for 2 at http://www.energy4sport.com/ . So getting about 25 gels for £16.50. Free deliv if you spend over £30 I think

\yes! I love these - especiallythe apple and orange one. I used to buy these for the children and then eat them all myself!

SIS gels from ribble. Just over £20 for 30 gels. Best I have ever used. If there good enough for Fabian Cancellara then there good enough for me.

found sis to be too sweet, currently use zip vit products, also asda do the lucazade gels for 64p each!

I tried the zipvt ones but didnt like them. But I like the sweetness of the SIS ones. Its down to what each person likes at the end of the day
