Hammer Gel

Price Paid:  $18.00 at Victory Bike & Ski,

Favorite Ride:
Anywhere

Bike Setup:
Specialized Allez Comp double, Shimano Ultegra group, Speedplay Zeroes

Summary:
Best gel I've used. I tried Gu, Enervit, Cliffshot, etc. Any time I've had to use another brand I always regret it not being Hammer Gel. No spikes or crashes, just pure energy at a fair price. I always get the jug since it's cost-effective. Although Raspberry is my fav I have tried some of the others and found them not too sweet. I have a sensitive stomach. I'm not associated with Hammer in any way, just a satisfied cstmr.

Strengths:
Highly digestible without upsetting my stomach. Not overly sweet. No spike or crash from simple sugars.

Weaknesses:
None that I can think of.

Favorite Ride:
Melba - Walter's Ferry Loop

Bike Setup:
Merlin Camena stock except headset Speedplay pedals, and upgraded saddle.

Summary:
Love the Raspberry favored stuff. I mix 42 grams in a Hammer Gel flask and drink 1 flask for every 70 minutes I ride. It keeps my blood sugar levels within limits (riding between 16-20 mph) and I seem to last a bit longer with less cramping in hot weather.

Strengths:
Good taste and good value.

Weaknesses:
Chocolate favored stuff works like other favors but looks sort of gross.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I've been using Hammer Gel for a few seasons now. It taste as good or better than any other gel product. Not hard to swallow. Individual flavors are distinct and actually taste like a real food. Can't say that about many competitors.

Strengths:
Consistant good taste and quality, honest company, Cheaper than other options if you buy the jugs.

Weaknesses:
Not stocked by many stores.
