    Local store should sell them by the box. Anywhere between €35-€40. If you are a regular you should be able to get a better deal.

    They should but you could only buy a box with single x how many in the box. Pure silly so I bought online.

    Rom, if you're near Blarney cycles anytime they have the isogels, I think they were only 1euro each, not 100% as I got a few other bits while in there, but I remember thinking that was cheap. They are easy as on the stomach as they are on the wallet.

    [edit] I know the op was about powerbar gels but those high5 ones are good value.

    I think I got that, they should be doing box prices. We all understand singles will be more expensive or at least 'normal' retail price relative to a box deal.

    If your store is doing single price X box quantity, thats just plain silly.

    I'd rather go foreign than give money to those cowboys.

    O...K....
    I used the search function, seems there may be...
    organisational issues...:rolleyes:
    with them, wasn't aware of that.
    I had 1 dealing with their other incarnation a few years ago, got a refund for a failed magazine subscription, after a while.

    So, AKW, about that box price?

    I get mine in bulk from Wiggle, several boxes at a time.

    Not getting through quite as many these days but sure it was the cheapest source including any shipping costs. Once you buy enough other stuff from them over the year then you get extra discounts as well which is always good.

    The edge was the place where they won't give me a discount on buying by the box. They charge 7 euro for shakers that I get for free. I will be taking a spin over to AK for my next pair of clogs I'd say.

    Jaysus fair enough. I had a voucher so got what i needed. I was convinced i got a bit off.

    Anyone ever try making their own?
