what's the most neutral flavor? I generally hate flavors in my gel... I like the PLAIN powerbar gels. I just think they are way too sweet already without any chocolate, or strawberry, etc... Rec's?

eGel all has a pretty strong taste. I think the strawberry is really sweet. The mountain rush (I think they call it -- green one) is a citrus. Still pretty sweet but not as overwhelming. Honestly, if you like the plain ones, you might want to just stick with a different brand.

I'm also not convinced that they are the cheapest, although I did use to use them almost exclusively and do like them ;)

performancebike.com has some good prices (as does their stores if you have a local one--also I learned that they will honor the online prices in the store if online is cheaper).

Thanks for that... yeah, I wasn't impressed with their rationalization of "cheaper" I mean, I get it... more calories per pkg= more calories per $, but I think i'd rather stick with the smaller "doses"...

I have been using it but am switching over to hammer products. I really can't stand accelerade when it gets hot out and training in the desert in the summer there's no way to avoid it. But it seems to work pretty well, taste isn't bad nothing great either (when not heated). Oh and don't let it sit out for a long period it gets nasty! Not sure if thats true with all these higher end sports drinks but defiantly accelerade
