Yes. They work best for meHas anyone used products from Scratch labs?
I think Tailwind is intended to be used as the source of on bike nutrition rather than just a hydration drink. Not sure if Skratch is the same. Tailwind suggests 2 scoops per bottle for a total of 200 calories and to consume one bottle an hour when riding longer than a couple hours. I haven't looked to much into Skratch so they may be similar...I know that they only have 80 calories per serving though. That might help for those that have GI issues with eating while riding. I plan to try it soon as the weather allows for a longer ride...hoping this coming weekend. I ordered the sample pack from Tailwind. It would be nice to not have to deal with food while riding 4+ hours.I've been on the Skratch for about a year now, love it. I had problems with Heed, and some of the other drink mixes, when I eat too much and top it off with a drink mix. I know that's bad to do, but sometimes you got to cram in the fuel when you can. I quit taking aid station drink mixes after using an unknown product hurt my gut enough to effect the ride. I have not changed my bad race eating but the Skratch hasn't left me with a hurting gut like some other do. I still don't take aid station products, but instead carry the small bags of Skratch in my pocket to add to aid station water to control what goes into my gut.
I made the switch from HEED to Skratch about 5 months ago. I like it a lot better than the HEED.Has anyone used products from Scratch labs?
Skratch labs is just hydration. The sugar in it isn't for energy, it helps with hydrationI think Tailwind is intended to be used as the source of on bike nutrition rather than just a hydration drink.
