gels/energy bars/recovery drinks/nune tablets are all great.
why try to save a couple of quid on food for long hard rides? you pay all that money on a bling bike and an entry fee and start mixing up foul tasting liquids with salt and lemon juice because you don't want to pay a fiver for a tube of nuun tablets.
same goes for bikes. i find it odd that people will spend extra for a shiny deep section wheel or a bit of carbon on their rear mech yet scrimp on important things like tyres, bartape, shoes, pedals and shorts.
