[Closed] PSA: SIS tablet clearance; 5 tubes of 10 tablets for £5

Have you tried them ? which one tastes best ?

Cheers o.p. I've used the mixed berry before and they're OK so I went with them. £3.99 postage BTW.

Or buy 10 tubes for £10 and get free postage. No brainer vs paying £8.99 for 5 tubes.

Thanks op
Are the berry similar to high 5??

15% cashback on quidco too

Aaargh! Never spotted that.

Time to cancel/reorder.

Cheers OP, 10 tubes for £10 delivered 🙂

Missed that, never mind 10p per tab will do me.

Or buy 10 tubes for £10 and get free postage. No brainer vs paying £8.99 for 5 tubes.

yeah sorry forgot to mention that, I bought 3 sets (ie. 15 tubes) in the end as either we'll get through em or someone else we ride/train with will have them off us.

Not on Topcashback but I sucked that one up and took one for the team 🙂

Thanks for that. Normally use High 5, chunk cheaper and enough bought to keep us sorted for summer.

Cheers

Lemon or berry though?

Just get both - cocktails

Cheers OP

They'll do nicely, thanks for that.

Cheers OP just what I needed.

Lemon or berry though?

for that price both and get free postage (given postage is 4 quid for orders less than £10 youre effectively only paying a quid for another 5 tubes, as allthepies points out).

10 ordered. Thanks OP

I went for both. Cheers OP.

Great psa! thanks.

Bought enough berry to last forever!

Only 1 lemon left now.

Thanks for PSA!

Got mine in, cheers!

Great. Thanks for that op.

Bargain, thanks OP

That'll see me through the summer. Thanks!

Sorted, cheers!

Nice spot, thanks!

Bingo bongo cheers op

Good shout, thanks

Excellent OP, ordered 10

I don't care how cheap they are.

Good call OP thanks.

Great PSA, got myself 10 tubes and quidco cashback

Cheers for this, been using Hi5 but I've just run out so ordered 5 of each flavour.

Nice one, cheers OP 🙂

Cheers OP 5 of each just ordered

Serious question, why do people buy/use these? Is it "starved" training?

we at TORQ feel that the public are being grossly misled into buying a product that offers a fraction of the benefits they think it does

http://www.torqfitness.co.uk/news/electrolyte-tablets

I am not affiliated with TORQ!

From al's link:

"As part of a fuelling/hydration strategy: As discussed earlier, their (sic) is a perfectly valid use for an electrolyte tablet if you’re prepared to address your fuelling separately by consuming energy bars/gels/other high carbohydrate food with them. If this is your preference there is nothing wrong with that, but expect your strategy to be expensive and note that you will have to consume artificial sweeteners. Our main issue is that most people don’t realise how much they need to eat with these tablets and the expense involved."

I thought the whole point of them was to use them as part of a fuelling/hydration strategy? If you think a zero carbohydrate tablet is somehow going to fuel you around a hard ride, then yes, perhaps you need to read the packet.

And it's obviously more expensive than drinking water alone, although at a tenner for 100 tabs, not a lot. And I notice that the price of Torq gels/energy drinks isn't compared with the cost of a slice of malt-loaf or half a banana.

Anecdotally, of course, I buy them because I've noticed that I'm less likely to cramp up on longer, hotter rides than with water alone.

my susceptibility to dehydration is different to my fuel requirement. I am very prone to illness from dehydration, I can quite easily (ie. not just through training but a hard night shift where I don't feel thirsty or drink enough) spend a day being physically sick as a result.

My road rides tend to be ~2hrs of smashing myself, I don't want or need carbs but I will sweat and dehydrate.

Torq deriding electrolytes sounds similar to Chris King knocking other standards of headset, right up until they started making them.

Nice one, ordered 🙂

You can mix & match the two flavours, I prefer the lemon but don't totally dislike the berry so I ordered seven lemon and three berry, still comes to a tenner.

Why not though? Why hamper your performance/recovery by not fuelling?

I got to liking them because my water bottles made plain water taste rank. I felt they did make a difference when riding in really hot and humid weather, perhaps not such an issue in Fife, but when touring in the US they were a lifesaver.

Top PSA, ordered 15. 😀

Missed the boat! No stock! Arse!

Regarding comments sbove, I chuck one in my energy drink on longer rides. Not sure if it makes any difference but in my head I am arming myself against the dreaded calf cramps! !

Missed the boat! No stock! Arse!

save the link- they ran out of stock a few days ago (having only had Cola left 😯 ) so the berry and lemon we've all been snapping up have been added since the promotion started.

Has anyone received their order yet? No sign of any reaching the Hoose of Moont yet. 🙁

Got mine on Thursday.

Nothing yet.

Got mine Thursday too.

Mine arrived Friday with a free sachet of whey powder and a glasses cleaning cloth(I think),which was nice 😀

I went a bit overboard on my order so may have some spare (berry or lemon) if you want to cover face value+ postage

Still nowt here, anyone else still waiting ?

Mine arrived today, I ordered 15 and received three. 🙁

Too late to edit my previous post.

I called customer services and they've sorted out my order instantly, seems there was a discrepancy between what I had ordered and paid for and what I'd been sent v what I thought I had thought I'd ordered and paid for.

Excellent response, will happily buy stuff from them again.

Had mine come saturday, just drinking a bottle of the berry one as i type this 🙂

Mine arrived today 😀

Same as Mikey - whey powder and a yellow cloth thing.
